Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

The car-based transport system solution is not working. It is a fundamental flaw in the Government's planning approach, which this project epitomises more than anything else. The Minister of State may say that we will have a metro system to serve the stadium but I have never believed the Government concerning its transport plans in that regard. The metro project is years behind schedule and the Government has shown no urgency in providing a connection. It was the first link to go. While the location may be very suitable for the Minister of State's constituents, for mine it would prove inaccessible. Does the Minister of State want to intervene?
