Paul Gogarty (Dublin Mid West, Green Party)

It is a year since I last spoke on this topic in the House. There has been a series of announcements in the past couple of years but nothing of great benefit to my constituents. My colleague, Deputy Eamon Ryan, has put forward reasons why Transport 21 is flawed and how we would do it differently. Deputy Cuffe spoke recently but I want to stick wholeheartedly to my constituency, because it is probably the most gridlocked part of the country. Bad planning by Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Progressive Democrats councillors has led to a lot of houses being built with absolutely no facilities.
