- Seanad: Road Network: Motion. (8 Feb 2006)
Paddy Burke: I move: That Seanad Ãireann: âcondemns the Government for its failure to provide any solution to the appalling problem of congestion on the M50, until 2008 at the earliest; âexpresses its concern in relation to the Government's proposal to move to barrier-free tolling on the M50 by way of the introduction of multipoint tolling at various sections through its length; ânotes the...
- Seanad: Road Network: Motion. (8 Feb 2006)
Paddy Burke: It cites the example of a motorist driving from Galway to Dublin. If the current tolling proposals proceed, motorists may have to pass between three and four tolls before reaching their final destination. It is too much to ask of any motorist, who is already contributing heavily to the Government through motor tax and VRT. It will cripple business and hamper the growth of businesses in the...

I have sought a debate on PPPs on numerous occasions in the Seanad. The PPPs are cash cows and they affect more than just the M50. There are also cash cows for schools, water supply, sewerage and other facilities. The House should debate public-private...
- Seanad: Road Network: Motion. (8 Feb 2006)
Paddy Burke: The Senator is right that I need to change the car.
- Seanad: Road Network: Motion. (8 Feb 2006)
Paddy Burke: I am paying too much tax and too many tolls. I pity the people who live in Kinnegad and Enfield who must pay â¬5 per day to go to work in Dublin. That is equivalent to an extra â¬109 per month on one's mortgage. If everybody's mortgage increased by â¬109 per month, there would be much talk about it. However, that is what these people must pay. Senator Quinn referred to the polluter pays...
