Michael D Higgins (Galway West, Labour)

I have spoken about the specific disaster that will stare us in the face if CIE does not decide to use all of its site for the provision of a long awaited, much needed, proper and regional-structured centre at Ceannt Station. I also made the case for integrated regional transport authorities and a national transport authority. While welcoming many of Transport 21's features, we should stress and valorise public transport by changing the ratio of investment in its favour for ecological, economic and social reasons.
