Séamus Kirk (Louth, Ceann Comhairle)

Amendments Nos. 79 and 91 in the name of Deputy Broughan have been ruled out of order because they have the potential to impose a charge on the Revenue. Amendment No. 79 would require the provision of national park and ride infrastructure and the resources required would impose this charge. Amendment No. 91 seeks to change section 33 to broaden the functions of the national transport authority to apply within and outside the greater Dublin area.

Amendments Nos. 83, 84 and 89 are in the name of Deputy Fergus O'Dowd and have been ruled out of order because they have the potential to impose a charge on the Revenue. Amendments Nos. 83, 84 and 89 propose to extend the remit of the Dublin Transport Authority and, therefore, the national transport authority outside the greater Dublin area with immediate effect.
