Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

Deputy Rabbitte referred to the guidelines relating to what Ministers and Ministers of State can do. Any departmental advertisement must be based on information. The announcement earlier by the Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Deputy Callely, set out the arrangements for Operation Freeflow and the availability of additional transport to assist the public, as happens at this time every year. It is a public information issue.
