Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

Like many motorists, I am intrigued by the question Deputy Kenny raised. Is it not the case that the penalty points system will exacerbate this because the trucks emerging from the tunnel have to cross to the left lane. Will the effect of this not be that the traffic will be backed up to Whitehall?

Is it true that, due to the absence of provision of certain safety mechanisms for the release of noxious fumes, the tunnel will only be able to function at 20% of its capacity when operational?
