Road Network. (12 May 2005)

Eamon Ryan: The Minister has my sympathy, having inherited the greatest mess in the history of transport, a mess which is not of his making. Last week we heard of the incredible waste of €20 billion expenditure on roads in terms of the building of 800 kilometres of motorway leading to this one road. I am sure the Minister will accept, as An Bord Pleanála and the Taoiseach have, that it will not work....

Why is he tying us into a...

State Airports. (12 May 2005)

Eamon Ryan: I accept that the Minister must see the business plans. As of now, does he have an inkling as to whether the hotels should or could be kept in public ownership? He stated he had discussions with the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism. Had he any communications with the Taoiseach on this issue? In any such communications, has the Taoiseach expressed a view on whether the assets should be...

State Airports. (12 May 2005)

Eamon Ryan: It is interesting in our new divided world to hear a response to a question regarding Cork Airport coming from Dublin Airport. It seems the business plans must come from Dublin Airport before we can hear them. Does the Minister agree that for lack of a small investment, in the order of €15 million, Cork Airport could have a navigational system which would allow planes to land even during...
