Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I thank the Taoiseach for outlining the Departments represented. The Departments of Health and Children and Education and Science deal with hospital and school buildings. By anyone's standards, these categories are among the most critical, but they must go through a prolonged planning process. Has the cross-departmental team suggested these buildings should form part of the critical infrastructure Bill to achieve a faster through-put in delivering projects? I make this suggestion positively. Has the cross-departmental team considered the metro line announced some time ago by the Minister for Transport, Deputy Cullen, and the question of the outer orbital Dublin route? Does it remain an illusion? Has its location been affirmed? How far from the M50 will it run, be it 10 miles, 15 miles or 20 miles? These are major pieces of infrastructure.
