Mr. Brendan Logue:

With regard to the question of public transport, Meath County Council's preliminary appraisal of this matter has concluded that public transport will not achieve the local authority's own traffic objectives and found a 4:1 cost-benefit analysis for a bypass of the village. If the Department is backing public transport, it needs to demonstrate to us what the plans are. Are there any specifics involved or is it a case of wishful thinking?
