Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

They should never have been here in the first place. They should have been banned, as I said several times.

More imaginative proposals could be developed. There are very few park and ride facilities. In other cities these facilities are the norm and work well. Luas capacity will increase by 40% and we will have more trams. The trams we have on the red and green lines will be extended. The work on Broadstone is going ahead, as is the metro to Swords. The line to Lucan is also going ahead. There is significant infrastructure plans and all those working together will make and are making an enormous difference.
