Title https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/spotlight/arid-40748418.html Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet The Irish Examiner Media type Print Country/Territory Ireland Date 21/11/21 Description Dr Mike Hynes, an environmental sociology lecturer at NUI Galway, told the Irish Examiner that the car was placed “atop the hierarchy” when it came to transport infrastructure from the '90s onwards.
“Essentially what we did was mirror the policy of the UK in the 1970s,” he said. “What they did was sat someone down, and asked how many more cars will we have in 20 years’ time in order to provide that road space.
“That goes into a spiral, as if you go into that paradigm it’s a never-ending cycle of car dependency. The idea of automobility becomes institutionalised in Ireland.”Producer/Author Sean Murray URL https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/spotlight/arid-40748418.html Persons Mike Hynes
