Has the committee done any assessment of the likely impact of traffic, about 6,500 trucks, that will spill on to the M50 and the toll bridge when the Dublin Port tunnel opens? Is the Taoiseach's face still set against throwing open the toll bridge, even on a trial basis, to see what the impact would be? In respect of the Minister for Transport, Deputy Cullen, deciding not to put any figures into the public domain on the likely cost of the metro north and the subsequent announcement of the metro west, does the committee have available to it a cost benefit analysis of these projects? Do members of the committee possess that information given it proceeded to make decisions based on that information being in their possession?
