Dessie Ellis (Dublin North West, Sinn Fein)

I hear what the Minister is saying. One certainly gets the impression that money will be a big problem. The Government is talking about raising €5 billion, some of which will go towards job creation. I am not necessarily saying I agree with the selling off of State assets - because I do not - but I believe this project would deliver a lot of jobs and benefits to the people of Dublin. I refer in particular to the link to Dublin Airport. Dublin is the only major city that does not have a rail link up to its airport.
