Timmy Dooley: I welcome the opportunity to say a few words. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend earlier, but I did get the opportunity to read Mr. Murphy's presentation.

Vote 31 - Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (23 Jan 2014) Timmy Dooley: I thank the Minister for the clarification on the roads. It saves me a question.
