Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It does not matter what I stand up and announce because it is never going to meet the Deputy's approval. She is flatly refusing to accept the reality that investment in public transport is increasing. She talks about plans and their delivery. Let us look at delivery for next year and the opening of the Phoenix Park tunnel, which will have the capacity to facilitate the carrying of an additional 1 million passengers. Let us look at that to which I have just referred. An additional €90 million has already been made available to Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann to provide new buses. That is happening. The reason the Deputy is so unwilling to acknowledge any of this additional investment is because it comes from a recovery she said would never happen.
