Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I am committed to opening the market in Dublin and have made this clear to all stakeholders. In fairness to them, they all accept that the time has come for the market to be opened. To give further weight to that statement, over €529 million will be provided for the acquisition of additional buses in Dublin alone, with some €250 million being provided for the rest of the country. A significant capital amount will also be allocated under Transport 21 for the same purpose.
