Minister Varadkar’s priorities as Minister between now and 2016 will be to:
  • Develop and implement a realistic, affordable and deliverable plan to maintain and upgrade roads and public transport infrastructure;
  • Drive efficiencies and rationalisation in the public transport companies in the context of falling subsidies;
  • Encourage more people out of their cars by improving their experience of public transport through initiatives like integrated ticketing, better stations, better bus stops and real-time passenger information, safe cycling and attractive walking;
  • Build on the success of the last government by keeping road fatalities and injuries down;
  • Rationalise and restore our State-owned airports and ports to financial health and profitability;
  • Increase the number of tourists coming to Ireland and improving their experience of Ireland and its regions;
  • Improve local sports facilities, and support Ireland’s top-level athletes to compete on the world stage.
