I have a related question. Mr. Creegan says that he is responsible for overall strategic transport planning but as we have heard today the road section is the responsibility of Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII. The National Transport Authority, NTA, has responsibility for public transport but not for roads. I return to my central point that we are tackling congestion in Dublin by widening all the approach roads. Who signs off on that strategic decision? Who is responsible for the strategy where the next ten years will be in road-widening on the approach roads? Does the National Transport Authority think that is a good strategy for tackling Dublin's transport problems?
