Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour)

The Dublin transport authority Bill has been promised for a long time. Dublin buses, particularly those travelling from Swords into Dublin, are precluded from using the port tunnel, which would save half an hour's journey time. Without a Dublin transport authority Bill it appears only private bus operators will be allowed use the Dublin port tunnel and Dublin Bus buses such as the No. 40 bus from Swords will be banned from using the tunnel.
