Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

When can we expect the road traffic Bill to come before the House? Does the Government intend to bring it before the House in the next couple of weeks? Earlier, the Tánaiste referred to the EU globalisation fund. I understand that on 9 October she made an application to the European Union for the former SRT workers at Dublin Airport. When does she expect a final decision from the European Commission in this regard?

The merchant shipping Bill has been before the House twice. The Minister for Transport, Deputy Dempsey, has indicated that it is being completely redrafted. Will a new Bill on foot of that already passed be introduced?
