    Mark is a decent guy in fairness as was his father Jack before him. At this point anyone who can wfh and wants to do so should be able to do that.

    Its ridiculous in a supposed effort to move towards a green economy

  2. Honestly good to see more TDs mentioning the rollback on WFH. We don’t live to sit in traffic and so many of us can do our jobs just as well, or better, from the comfort of our homes – with our families.

  3. Seems congestion is when leaving m50, less on it. Congestion pricing also hurt more for people with less. 
    Glad the was congestion this time….

    WFH or not…The actual problem is everybody trying to do the same thing at the same time

  5. Like many things it’s true the government could fix it overnight if they wanted to. They choose not to.

  6. “flexable working hours” 

    What spoofing. Another token bandaid. We need proper transport infrastructure for the number of people living in the cities on this Island. 

  7. Mark out here as the only person trying to help in our community in South Kildare, and here he is advocating for people like me with long commutes. Big respect for him and I know why I’ll continue to vote for him.

  8. Government need to pull their finger out and legislate for the ability to work from home if you can

  9. Took me 2.5 hours this morning to go from Swords to Sandyford which is about 40kms, the m50 is an absolute joke at the moment, took 2 hours to come home too. Government need to cop the fuck on and do something about it.
