I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise the following matter of local and national importance, namely, the need for the Minister for Transport to ensure that Clongriffin Dart station in Donaghmede is opened without further delay. The opening of the station has been continually put back. We are told that it will not open until next summer at the earliest, which is unacceptable to residents living in the north and south fringe areas who are not serviced with a proper transport system. Developers sold houses and are still selling houses on the basis that Clongriffin Dart station will open very soon. Will the Minister for Transport on behalf of local residents please intervene and ensure that the station is opened immediately?

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the decision by Dublin City Council to shelve a number of capital projects in Dublin South-Central, such as, the new civic space at Kilmainham Jail, the Lutyens Bridge and the gateway to Islandbridge, the Camac greenland walkway, the improvements to Rialto and Inchicore villages, improvements to the Ballyfermot civic centre space and the Crumlin leisure centre. Unfortunately, unlike other Deputies, I do not have the "sell your soul" letter given by the previous Taoiseach. I ask that all citizens and communities be treated in the same way. I ask the Government to honour the commitments made to these communities and guarantee that these projects will be completed and not put on the shelf indefinitely.
