Kyoto Protocol: Motion (3 Apr 2007)

Olivia Mitchell: The fact that our CO2 emissions per head are the highest in the world and that we are almost totally dependent on imported fossil fuels for energy suggests we have lost the right to promote the country as the clean, green land we like to see it as.

Road Network. (3 Apr 2007)

Olivia Mitchell: The reservation of some of this road runs through my constituency and it has had a road reservation for as long as I can remember. It was taken off the pitch entirely when the Fianna Fáil manifesto prior to 1997 stated it would never happen. After its re-election in 2002, it went back on the list for a feasibility study and this has been ongoing for five years. Is there any prospect of...

Road Network. (3 Apr 2007)

Olivia Mitchell: What is the connection between the two? Are they being considered as alternative projects? In any post-construction assessment of the port tunnel, will value for money and the efficacy of the tunnel be taken into account, given that it went ahead after the decision was made to drop the eastern bypass before the 1997 election? Its efficacy was diminished following that decision.

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31 (3 Apr 2007)

Proposed Legislation. (3 Apr 2007)

Olivia Mitchell: This is probably the final question time with the Minister for Transport in this Dáil; when we reached the final Question Time on transport in the previous Dáil, we were also promised a Dublin transport authority but it has not been established. The legislation has not been published and I do not know whether the Minister is even still promising to publish it before the end of this Dáil....

Proposed Legislation. (3 Apr 2007)

Olivia Mitchell: Is the Bill not yet ready to be published?

Proposed Legislation. (3 Apr 2007)

Olivia Mitchell: The Minister is talking gobbledegook. He has promised this for five years and is still only talking about feeding views into the legislation. His opportunities for legislation have passed. The incidence of chaos and gridlock in the city is increasing and special interests, who do not want a Dublin transportation authority but to maintain the status quo, have won out because the Government...

Proposed Legislation. (3 Apr 2007)
