Congestion charges should be considered in Dublin and Cork to discourage motorists from travelling into cities, according to a new report.
The paper, which was published by Environment Minister Eamon Ryan, looked at a number of measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in five Irish cities.
This report, which looked at reducing emissions and improving air quality, found “very strong evidence” that congestion charges result in lower traffic volumes and a reduction in CO2 emissions.
The report noted that such a measure was met with “significant public and political opposition from the countries in which its already been introduced.
Other measures investigated in the report was workplace parking levies and support for alternative fuel vehicles.
