- Public Transport. (2 Nov 2006)
Shane McEntee: When one is caught in traffic on the Dublin roads, it is soul destroying to see an empty bus lane for 40 minutes. Any driver who breaks out on to it, if caught, will automatically receive penalty points. Students will often say that while waiting for a bus, many of them pass by full. We need extra buses and better use must be made of the bus corridors. People do not care whether the bus...
- Public Transport. (2 Nov 2006)
Shane McEntee: We were promised that an integrated public transport ticketing system would be in place five years ago. The â¬13 million that was initially spent on the project has been wasted and the budget has increased from â¬29 million to â¬42 million.

We know there is â¬70 billion, a significant amount of money, for 40 projects, but the costs of the projects have not been indicated.
