Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

Before I put a question on promised legislation, will the Taoiseach tell the House whether the Government will ratify the framework convention on tobacco control? An amount of legislation at the end of the list refers to public transport, such as the Public Transport Commission Bill. I understand the Cabinet discussed the metro today. When will it commence, given that a promise was made that it would be in place to Swords by 2007?
