The new transport plan for Dublin is due to be implemented in August. It aims to stop drivers using the city centre as a rat-run to get to other destinations. Even though it was agreed last April by Dublin City Council after lengthy consultation, last minute changes have been made to certain elements of the plan and there are now calls to delay its introduction. On Monday, a protest was held outside Dublin City Hall calling on the council to bring in the plan on time and as agreed .   So why has opposition emerged now? Who is objecting and who will win?  Dublin editor Olivia Kelly has followed the twists and turns in what should have been a simple plan to ease congestion in the capital.Presented by Bernice Harrison.
