Should Dublin introduce congestion charges?

In October, the average speed of traffic in Dublin City Centre was 13.4km/h during the morning peak.

This is slower than the densely populated London, with the English capital clocking an average speed of 14km/h.

This begs the question, as traffic rises every morning, is it time to make a change?

Would the introduction of congestion charges, similar to what is in place in London, discourage drivers from driving through busy areas in the city?

Joining Ciara to discuss this further is Jason Cullen of Dublin Commuter Coalition and Keith Gavan, Chairman of the Irish Parking Association.
