Josepha Madigan: I thank Mr. Doyle and his officials for their responses thus far. I would like to return to the swimming pool issue mentioned by other Deputies and the Department's oversight of swimming pools. The current Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, has been very vocal about Glenalbyn swimming pool, which is in his constituency. It also happens to be in my constituency. This...

Josepha Madigan: An underground system in Dublin is desirable to prevent bad weather affecting traffic. Metro North was agreed by Cabinet in 2015, is to commence in 2021 and will finish in 2026-2027. Why is there a delay? Is it solely a funding issue? Traffic in cities across Ireland, and particularly in Dublin, leads to the prospect of a dismal, bleak future and an underground is the answer.
