Deirdre Clune (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

I wish to share my time with Deputy James Bannon.

I congratulate the Minister on his appointment and wish him well. It is a shame we are speaking about roads on my first outing in the Dáil because I would prefer if the emphasis were on public transport, but I am sure the Minister will share my enthusiasm for that. I hope public transport will dominate his agenda because it is extremely important.
