An attempt to stall a controversial transport plan, to reduce car dominance on the city's streets, has failed.
A group of Dublin city councillors tabled a motion last night to scrap the original public consultation findings, claiming it didn't take the views of people with disabilities into account.
While an amendment, which proposed having further meetings with disabled persons organisations, passed with 25 votes in favour to 22 against.
The changes, that include bus gates at Bachelors Walk and Aston Quay, are due to begin being implemented from August. The aim is to remove traffic that has no destination in the city.
Independent councillor Mannix Flynn voted against the amendment and says the process so far has been flawed;
"What's been established here is reasonable doubt and in law reasonable doubt wins out on every single aspect here."
