Nightmare Commutes - Congestion & Poor Public Transport Make Journeys Unbearable

from The Last Word with Matt Cooper

Commuters say they are facing longer journey times to and from work or school due to increased traffic congestion and poor alternative transport options. This comes as many employers are pushing for staff to return to the office, which means even more workers will be making the commute into the country's urban centres every day.To discuss the challenges of commuting and how they can be addressed, The Last Word is joined by radio producer Diarmuid Doyle who commutes from Navan, Professor Brian Caulfield from Trinity College Dublin, Mark Wall, Labour TD for Kildare South, Geraldine Herbert, motoring editor with the Sunday Independent, and Alison Hodgson, the CIPD’s market director for Ireland .
