- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Revised National Development Plan: Discussion (3 Nov 2021)
Jerry Buttimer: -----the M28, and the timeline on that. That is my question to Mr. Walsh. To Ms Graham, in terms of BusConnects in Cork, I meant to ask at our meeting with her whether the livery would be still red and white. It is a parochial matter but it is distinctive in the context of Cork. The video the NTA had as part of its promotional piece had a red-and-white bus. I accept the NTA is buying...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Revised National Development Plan: Discussion (3 Nov 2021)
Jerry Buttimer: I will ask a simple question which has a complex answer. Do Mr. Walsh and Ms Graham think we will see the Cork metropolitan area transport strategy in our lifetime? We are committed to light rail and to a public transport system that is integrated. We recognise the complexities of public transport provision in the case of Cork. Yet the number of bus journeys, as we heard this week, is...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Revised National Development Plan: Discussion (3 Nov 2021)
Jerry Buttimer: I ask the question because it goes back to my earlier remarks about project visualisation and delivery. People want to see that. The ambition is one that we all subscribe to and want to see achieved. There is a collective will.

The House needs to debate the matter with the Minister of State, Deputy...

The Minister for Health has been speaking about the significant challenges, notwithstanding the changes announced today. An example is the winter flu vaccine and the role of our...
