Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

That is right. It is a dangerous place over there, by the look of things. It defies logic that trucks, cars and buses should all crawl along at a snail's pace in order to get to the toll plaza to pay for the privilege of going up the other road. Whoever thought of that in the first place must have been a financial genius. There is no bank or financial institution that could give a return on investment from a captive audience in the same way as that toll plaza. There are two options. One could stay on the other side of the bridge, or something could be done about it. I had hoped somebody might have shouted "Stop" at this stage.
