It is absolutely shameful that the Minister for Transport is not in the Chamber tonight. When I was elected to the Dáil in 2007, the first issue before the House was the Shannon-Heathrow route.

Urban Renewal Schemes. (23 Sep 2009)

Kieran O'Donnell: I echo many of the sentiments expressed by Deputy O'Sullivan. We need action on regeneration. The project is in danger of losing credibility and of stalling. People were unaware that this is a draft plan which has yet to receive formal Cabinet approval. I want the Minister of State to give us an indication of the date when it will be approved at Cabinet. I want an indication from him of...
