Writer Anna Heussaff has taken it upon herself to investigate how easy it is to travel around Ireland without the use of a car.
For climate reasons, given that passenger cars are a major polluter, accounting for 61% of total CO2 emissions from EU road transport according to a report from the European Environment Agency, writer Anna Heussaff has been travelling around Ireland without a car and reporting to RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltacht's Tús Áite.

Thosaigh Anna san Ardchathair agus d'fhág sé an chathair le am a chaitheamh i gCeatharlach, rud a bhí éasca ar thraenacha agus ansin ar bhus ó Cheatharlach go Loch Garman ar bhus le comhlacht príobháideach.
Cé go raibh an turas seo réasúnta éasca, bhí an turas ó Bhaile Átha Cliath go Cill Mhantáin níos dúshlánaí, cé nach bhfuil sé i bhfad ón gcathair.
Chuaigh Anna Heussaff ar thuras lae go Cill Mhántáin, gáirdín na hÉireann, mar chuid don togra atá ar bun le fáil amach an féidir dul ar saoire in Éirinn an Samhradh seo gan tiomáint. Cé go bhfuil Cill Mhantáin ar leic an dorais do Bhaile Átha Cliath ach go háirithe le dul amach ag siúl sna sléibhte, deir Anna nach bhfuil sé éasca dul chomh fada leis na sléibhte seachas i gcarr. Bheadh obair mhór ag teastáil le feabhas a chur ar an gcóras iompair le seirbhís a chur ar fáil dóibh siúd atá ag iarraidh am a chaitheamh ar na tránna sa chontae céanna.
