Timmy Dooley (Clare, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I wish to ask the Minister when his Government is going to reappoint the Minister of State and show up the Labour Party for what it has perpetrated on the workers and the Irish people by giving to believe, through its programme for Government, that it somehow cared about public transport. When the going got tough, when the deal was done and Fine Gael's privatisation agenda was firmly on track, the Minister of State with responsibility for public transport evaporated.
