Brendan Ryan (Dublin Fingal, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Minister for his response. I speak as a representative of Dublin Fingal and a supporter of metro north. It is no surprise that there is a regular traffic snarl on a major artery into Dublin city that is not served by rail link. The Red Cow roundabout used to be the headline traffic disaster in Dublin until the Luas came along. The Navan Road was also a blackspot until commuter rail links improved.

We need metro north to be accelerated. The port tunnel is not a solution to the commuting deficit in north County Dublin. When a dispute which has the potential to impact on commuting times occurs, it has an extra impact. Can the Minister sort out this dispute and move on to the next project, namely, the delivery of metro north as soon as possible?
