Congestions charges can't be ruled out as Taoiseach says Govt won't curtail car ownership

Minister Eamon Ryan says congestion charges cannot be ruled out, but he says the first response should be the reallocation of road space

REDUCED PARKING AND a minimum parking charge in all urban areas are some measures contained in the government’s climate action targets.

Reduced parking, particular for government agencies, departments and the civil service, is also contained within the plan, as is the end of free workplace parking and a minimum parking charge in all urban areas. “The Government isn’t going to be culling any cows nor is the Government going to confiscate anyone’s car or curtail car ownership.

The Taoiseach said old photos of the space in front of Leinster House was very beautiful before the “horrible car park” was installed at the front of the building. The government also wants one in three private cars to be electric by 2030, with chargers to be installed on all new residential buildings, public buildings, where possible, and all schools by 2025.
