Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

I will not discuss the weather. I wish to refer to two pieces of legislation. Given the changes in the economic situation, the Green Party's support for the decimation of the public transport system, and the fact that the public service will be screwed to such an extent that they cannot afford cars, is it intended to proceed with No. 36, the Public Transport (Regulation) Bill? Would it not be more appropriate at this stage to rename No. 17, the Road Traffic and Transport Bill, as the paths and cycle-ways Bill? That is what the public service and the rest of us will have to use on our way to work. There will be no public transport left if the Minister is allowed to proceed with his cuts.
