Noel Dempsey (Meath West, Fianna Fail)

——as a result of what he might read in certain publications. The statements I have made in this House are statements of policy. The statements in the programme for Government deal with public transport. That is the policy I am pursuing. I have outlined my priorities, on which I intend to deliver, one after the other, which will give us the public transport system we need in Dublin. The biggest priority has to be delivery of the Dublin transport authority Bill which will be published at the beginning of the next session and on which I look forward to a full discussion, as well as the general issue of public transport in Dublin. There is no flip-flopping.
