I welcome the provision in the budget for the expansion of land transport, the investment in roads and, in particular, the extension of the DART to Drogheda. Deputy Munster will agree with me on that. It has the capacity to transform the area, not just for commuters, although that is important, but also in terms of inward travel. The choice in transport that will be offered to the whole region will be significant and will get people off the roads. An efficient, effective and fast system is what people want.
