Michael Kennedy (Dublin North, Fianna Fail)

Metro west will follow. Let us get metro north to the airport so that metro west can come about. Metro west will happen when public finances allow. Again, it is badly needed. Deputy Broughan knows Transport 21 is a substantial €34 billion programme. Most of it is intact. Many of the items in Transport 21 have been delivered.

I refer to our new roadway structure. One can drive from Dublin to Cork, from Dublin to Galway and from Dublin to Sligo.
