Traffic Management. (19 Oct 2005)

Róisín Shortall: The Minister raised issues which are not relevant. I asked him a question about the West Link toll bridge which is within the boundaries of Fingal County Council.

Traffic Management. (19 Oct 2005)

Róisín Shortall: The factual position is that the West Link toll bridge is in the Fingal County Council area and has nothing to do with Dublin City Council.

[29727/05]

Public Transport. (19 Oct 2005)

Róisín Shortall: The Minister puts much store in the famous ten-year transport plan for which we have been waiting for the past ten months or so, but I am sure he will forgive us for being utterly sceptical about plans. The public shares our scepticism. The experience with the most recent plan, the national development plan, was that it gave absolute guarantees on funding allocations. That plan provided for...

Róisín Shortall: Nonsense.

Public Transport. (19 Oct 2005)

Róisín Shortall: Stop spoofing.

Public Transport. (19 Oct 2005)

We are not given any information about the status of drivers who are involved in accidents. We do not know whether accidents are more likely to involve unlicensed drivers, for example, or drivers with provisional licences. It is...
