Rail Network. (3 Apr 2007)

Catherine Murphy: The Minister said there is a service from Maynooth to the Docklands Station but the service is only from Clonsilla. There is no service from Maynooth to Docklands Station, unless one gets off the train at Clonsilla and waits for the train for Docklands. That makes no sense. Is the Minister aware that, according to the census figures published last week, Kildare is now the fourth most...

Anti-Social Behaviour. (4 Apr 2007)

Clearly considerable time will be spent on tracking, as was the case in the UK where much administration of ASBOs is involved.

Catherine Murphy: If we are to meet our international targets and reduce the need to purchase carbon credits, we not only need to set year-on-year targets but we must scope down to the actions that we need to deliver on those targets.
