Olivia Mitchell (Dublin South, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of urgent public importance, namely, the deteriorating traffic conditions in the greater Dublin area, which are set to worsen as transport construction projects get underway; the loss of focus on short-term and medium-term measures to manage and maximise existing networks; the total absence of planning, co-ordination, co-operation and integration among the multiplicity of agencies supposedly in charge; and the urgent imperative to establish a Dublin transportation authority to take control before conditions deteriorate beyond redemption.
