- Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed). (15 Jun 2006)
John Perry: They inherited a very successful economy. However, in terms of investment in critical constituencies in the west of Ireland and what has been delivered, the Government has failed.

In the context of this Bill, it is important that critical...

- Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed). (15 Jun 2006)
John Perry: I am glad of the opportunity to speak on this important Bill. Ireland is a First World economy with what is in many respects a Third World infrastructure. This is evident in our overcrowded public transport and in the significant underfunding in the BMW region. The review of the national development plan was forensic in its identification of those areas in which less money was spent. In...
- Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed). (15 Jun 2006)

The route has already been selected for bypassing Castlebaldwin and Collooney. Traffic volumes on this road are high and there have been several accidents. Work must begin urgently but...
- Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed). (15 Jun 2006)

- Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed). (15 Jun 2006)
John Perry: I am sorry, but the Minister is trying to provoke me. The Government is taking stealth taxes from the people by the day, if not the hour. While personal taxation has been reduced, everything that one buys, even down to a glass of water, is taxed. This Government would tax the air that we breathe if it could. That is how bad the situation is, with tax on absolutely everything. The Minister...
