Charlie O'Connor (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)

I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle and I acknowledge the co-operation of his colleague, the Ceann Comhairle, in allowing me and my colleague, Deputy Crowe, to raise this special issue.

This week as I, along with Deputy Crowe, went about my business in my constituency serving not only Tallaght but also Brittas, Firhouse, Templeogue and Greenhills, many issues were brought to our attention. People spoke to us about the M50, the need for an estate project to be funded, the great news that at last we are to get a new Garda station and the debate on the National Children's Hospital's future in Tallaght.
