Róisín Shortall (Dublin North West, Labour)

In a few months, we face complete gridlock on the M50, and particularly the West Link, since the Dublin Port tunnel will be adding an additional 2,500 trucks to it every day. That is because of the Minister's inability to deal with this problem and plan ahead. Among the things that he had promised to do was introduce legislation to allow for open-road tolling last autumn. We still have not seen it. How much longer must we wait, and when will there be action from the Minister on this issue?
