Paul Gogarty (Dublin Mid West, Green Party)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national infrastructural importance, namely, the continuing deterioration in traffic congestion in Clondalkin and Lucan, most recently at the M50-N4 junction with mile-long tailbacks on the Lucan road affecting those travelling from the west throughout the day, and the need for the Minister to immediately invest in a bus based alternative for cross-city travel, followed at the earliest opportunity by a rail based investment, which is not earmarked with a reasonable or sensible timeframe under the flawed Transport 21 proposals.
