Councillor Hughie McElvaney:

I thank the committee for the invitation to attend. I am delighted to lead a strong delegation here from LAMA. We were here before on taxi and other business, but this morning's meeting is not as daunting. First, I know the Vice Chairman and we also know a number of members of the committee, in particular Senator Cáit Keane who was our vice chairman prior to her elevation to Seanad Éireann. When she reached this lofty arena, she did not forget where she came from and she is very good to the LAMA executive.
