Disability Bill 2004: Second Stage (Resumed). (13 Apr 2005)

Eamon Ryan: I imagine 400 to 500 taxis, or fewer, are wheelchair accessible. It is nearly impossible for someone in a wheelchair to get a wheelchair accessible taxi in this city. The figures are not important. The Government should have lived up to its commitment. All taxis should be wheelchair accessible. As a person with a young family, they are the only taxis I can access easily. I can get my...

Disability Bill 2004: Second Stage (Resumed). (13 Apr 2005)

Eamon Ryan: I welcome the opportunity of speaking on the Disability Bill, which has engaged this House more than any other legislation I have seen in my time here. It is legislation in which everyone has an interest. Other than Government Ministers and supporters, it appears there is a consensus that this Bill is fundamentally flawed. This view of the Bill is not based purely on political gamesmanship....

Does the Minister for Transport then allocate resources accordingly? How does he decide between different projects? Are there...

Rail Network. (24 Mar 2005)

Eamon Ryan: On a point of order, the Ceann Comhairle said that question time was about eliciting information. I asked the Minister if the road would take from the feasibility study of the rail, but I did not get an answer to that.

Air Services. (24 Mar 2005)

Eamon Ryan: Does the Minister believe there should be direct flights between Cork Airport and the US?

Air Services. (24 Mar 2005)

Eamon Ryan: The Joint Committee on Transport heard the basic argument for a private sector investment on the basis that long-haul aeroplanes had to be replaced. There was no business secrecy; it was a simple fact. It would cost about €1 billion and we questioned from where the money would come. I support Deputy Shortall's point. The Minister said he had talked to the stakeholders — the unions and...

Air Services. (24 Mar 2005)

Eamon Ryan: Deputy Shortall is correct. In those circumstances, why should we not debate the basic principle, as stated by Deputy Finian McGrath?
