Dublin's controversial new traffic plan is back in the spotlight once again.
Junior Minister Emer Higgins is due to meet with members of Dublin City Council today to discuss business and retail leaders' concerns about potential affects for sales and jobs.
The measures which are due to be introduced in August, would restrict access for cars in the city centre, with changes to traffic flows and bus gates on the quays.
It's understood that Minister for State Higgins will request the plans implementation, scheduled to take place in August, be postpoed until some time next year.
However, councillor for the South East Inner City Mannix Flynn says postponement doesn't go far enough.
The independent councillor will bring an emergency motion before the meeting of the city council this evening proposing to scrap the strategy, which he has described as "hairbrained", altogether.
On the other side of the divide, Transport Minister Eamon Ryan doesn't expect Dublin City Council to delay roll-out of the controversial traffic plan for the city.
The out-going Green Party leader says "if they (Dublin City Council) decided to delay now, I think the people of Dublin would be rightly, deeply upset. It's time for us to do up our city, it's time to make it a proud place for everyone to come into."
Dublin City Council's monthly meeting is scheduled to be held this evening.
