Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

There are 100 more buses on them this year. The number of buses is increasing. The bus corridors have proved a success. They are opposed by many people in many places, but I have always supported them. Work has been done on the quays and the tunnel is the biggest engineering job we have completed. It has been highly successful, despite all the games played with regard to leaks and whether it would ever open. It has proved to be massively successful and we have heard little complaint about it since it opened because of that success.
