Order of Business. (17 Jun 2004)

Eamon Gilmore: I would like to ask about No. 4 on today's Order Paper, the National Monuments (Amendment) Bill. When we were notified about the legislation last week, we were informed that this was a simple Bill to allow for the completion of the M50 motorway at Carrickmines.

National Monuments (Amendment) Bill 2004: Order for Second Stage. (17 Jun 2004)

Eamon Gilmore: The Labour Party opposes the order for Second Stage. As I indicated earlier, for the past year it has been known that legislation would be required to complete the M50 motorway at Carrickmines, of which the Labour Party would be supportive.
