Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

Let me move to my second point. We are increasing the capacity of the M50 by 50%, which is substantial. It will be of great benefit to road users in that area. There is no doubt that we will have to move to demand management of traffic in Dublin. However, before moving fully to that position, I want to give people in Dublin and those who visit the capital city a choice of public transport access into the city. This is the fairest way to deal with the matter. I will not penalise or punish people by not having in place alternative facilities but, ultimately, the growth in traffic will require demand management.
