James Reilly: On the same topic, I asked the Taoiseach and his predecessor on numerous occasions about this legislation. People are waiting for it and have no financial arrangements in place. Each time Deputy Jan O'Sullivan or I ask for it, we are told the Bill will be this session. We were told that before Christmas and Easter. After tomorrow, there are a mere nine days left this session. Is it...

- Dublin Transport Authority Bill 2008 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (4 Jun 2008)
James Reilly: As a previous speaker stated, 200 buses were promised but fewer than 100 have been delivered. Bus corridors lie empty while drivers sit fuming in their cars with carbon emissions flying up into the air. It is ridiculous. Surely a car with three or more passengers should be allowed to use a bus lane and could still be policed, which would encourage car pooling. Another issue raised was that...
