In this talk, Prof. Caulfield explores the decade of construction that is ahead for Irish cities in order to achieve our climate goals in transport. Ireland has the legally binding target of reducing transport emissions by 50% by the end of the decade. This talk will explore how mega public transport projects (Metrolink, Luas and DART+) can help achieve an emissions reduction but also an improvement in quality of life.
Joining the discussion is Geraldine Herbert, a columnist and Motoring Editor with The Sunday Independent and Ireland’s first female motoring editor at a national newspaper. A regular contributor to radio and television, she appears on RTÉ, Virgin Media, and the BBC, commenting on transport, motoring, and consumer issues. With over 20 years’ experience, Geraldine is also the founder and editor of Wheels for Women, Ireland’s first website dedicated to women on wheels, covering cars, bikes, and motorbikes. She is a graduate of the National University of Ireland and Trinity College Dublin, where she was a Foundation Scholar of the college.
