  • Cathaoirleach, Members of the Committee
    Cathaoirleach, members of the Committee, I first of all want to thank you on behalf the NBRU, Irelands foremost and only dedicated Public Transport Union, for inviting us to attend here today. At the outset I should place on record the fact that the NBRU will always respond positively to any announcement that brings an increase to Public Transport accessibility and frequency, along with added jobs in the Industry. I should also point out that industrial relations issues did not feature in our analysis, we purposely sought to stay away from this area for now, in order to concentrate on the effect this plan will have on those Communities our members serve as part of the Dublin Bus ‘family’. Those three headings are fundamental to this debate, it is our contention that the NTA have got this plan, or Bus Connects wrong, in their attempts to correct perceived problems in the Dublin Bus Network. First and foremost, you as professional politicians should not underestimate the reaction that will ensue from local communities should the plan as announced become a reality. No direct buses, isolated communities, multiple buses to get to destinations that are currently served by one direct bus, are just some of the issues which will play out over the coming weeks and months. So, what do we mean by the NTA getting it wrong? Simply put, they are suggesting that the notion of a direct Bus to the City will disappear in lots of instances, the name of the plan makes that point very clear, ‘Bus Connects’ for us means that there will be a significant amount of interchange, quite an amount of walking from stop to stop etc.

The problem was resolved in part by relocating bus termini, mainly to other edge- of-centre on-street locations. These included certain protected heritage environments such as Merrion Square. Objections have been raised by prominent heritage interest groups, notably the Irish Georgian Society. The use of such locations has been justified by state bus agencies on grounds of cost, expediency and lack of viable alternatives.

  • The Social Topography of Eighteenth-Century Dublin
    15 The Multi-Centred Metropolis: The Social Topography of Eighteenth-Century Dublin EDEL SHERIDAN-QUANTZ It is here necessary to remark, that the eastern side of the City, contiguous to the sea, is almost entirely laid out in elegant streets, for the residence of the gentry: and the western side, though more remote from the sea, and consequently not so conveniently situated for the purposes of commerce, is chiefly inhabited by merchants and mechanicks.1 IN A PORT CITY IT SEEMS RATHER ODD INDEED that the ‘merchants and mechanicks’ should dwell in the landward half of the city, leaving the area towards the coast to the ‘gentry’. As the following demonstrates, Dublin’s east–west social gradient as described in eighteenth-century and early nineteenth-century accounts, of which a typical sample is given above, was not quite as simple as many contemporaries liked to claim. The eastern and western sectors were fragmented and subdivided by the physical barrier of the River Liffey, so that different neighbourhood characters and subcentres of social and economic activity developed, not only in the eastern and western halves of the city but also within these sectors. With the Restoration of the monarchy in England and the consequent re-establishment of the Irish parliament in Dublin, the city began to expand rapidly again. Dublin in the eighteenth century was a capital city, nominally of a semi- autonomous kingdom, de facto of a state with effective colonial status subject to the English throne; nevertheless, the city had all the associated administrative, legal, cul- tural and economic functions of a capital.
