	Don't repeat UK's transport mistakes, warns TSSA - TSSA News Release 10 March 2003
		The Transport Salaried Staffs’ Association (TSSA) is urging the Irish Transport Minister Seamus Brennan not to repeat the mistakes made in Britain over the fragmentation and privatisation of public transport services.
		After 17 years of privately-run buses, the director of Transport 2000 complained recently that buses were infrequent, especially in the evenings and weekend, leading to traffic congestion, had poor connections to other modes of traffic, lacked passengers security and staff were indifferent to passengers.
		Transport for London, which manages London Buses, was forced to address this gap by subsidising the bus drivers’ pay by £17.5million in 2001/2002.

	Government Claims on Cycling: An Open Letter to the Minister Foir Transport (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Despite this, Irish cyclists are finding themselves impeded and obstructed in going about their daily business, and are having their lives, safety and property endangered, by cycle track/cycle lane devices that flout self-evident safety principles and fundamental principles of Irish traffic law.
		Two alternative conclusions are invited 1) the Irish state's senior transport advisors and planners chose not to conduct the most rudimentary cost-benefit analysis of their proposals or 2) those officials seeking to divert state funds into this "cycle-infrastructure" never actually intended it to benefit cyclists or to encourage cycling.
		Despite this, it is apparently standing Irish road design practice to focus on attempting to create a state of "free flow" for private car users to the practical exclusion of all other considerations.

		The Republic uses kilometres for distance (although some old signs with miles have not been removed, they are scheduled to be replaced before the end of 2005), and the United Kingdom uses miles.
		This changeover from miles to kilometres on roads was described by the then Irish Minister for Transport, Seamus Brennan, on October 6, 2003, as a "mini-euro" and a huge logistical operation.
		Britain, too, will likely switch to kilometres per hour in the foreseeable future (as they are required to under an EU directive), though this is unlikely before 2008.

		The Irish Government was sensitive to unionist concerns about interference in Strand I, the internal affairs inside Northern Ireland, and therefore it's representative won't have an overseeing role in terms of monitoring whether progress is being made on those internal aspects of the Good Friday Agreement.
		There are also problems in the transport area, where the Irish Transport Minister has the unions up against him over his plans to break up (unclear), the Irish Airport's Authority, and unions in Dublin (unclear) also opposing plans to privatize.

	Privatising Public Transport in Ireland - Questions and Answers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Transport for London (the body responsible for the city's transport system) attributes this major rise in bus carryings to the doubling of the government transport grant to London and improvements such as the installation of more bus lanes and congestion charging, rather than to the regulatory structure itself.
		The state transport company (HT) was privatised between 1992 and 1997 through the introduction of competitive tendering.
		If a shift in the modal split towards public transport is to be achieved, and sustainability in transport made a reality, then what is needed is appropriate investment, linked to clearly thought out policies defining the role of public transport in economic development.
