Billy Kelleher (Cork North Central, Fianna Fail)

We will explain that following the next general election. The Opposition should not take comfort from the recent elections.

I compliment the Minister and the Department on acknowledging the significant traffic problem in Dublin city. The construction of the M50 should enhance the quality of life of communities along the commuter belt as it will be easier for people to travel to work and to other parts of Ireland. People want to travel and to enjoy a weekend break, whether in Rosslare or in the west. Deputy Eamon Ryan is basically saying people should not travel.
