- Transport 21. (5 Nov 2009)
Tommy Broughan: It has been reported that expenditure on metro north to end September was approximately â¬134 million, including legal fees. Is that the position? Is the Government wobbling on metro north, one of the flagships, after the inter-urban routes, of Transport 21? The process is well under way in terms of the railway procurement order and there remains only two bidders involved, Celtic Metro...

- National Cycle Policy. (5 Nov 2009)
Tommy Broughan: It is tragic that cyclists are still being killed on our roads. I echo the Minister's comments in that regard and sympathise with the relatives and friends of the people who died so tragically.

Does that mean people with convictions for murder, manslaughter, drug trafficking and sexual offences will not be allowed a...

Tommy Broughan: Question 2: To ask the Minister for Transport if he will confirm that he will maintain the level of funding as set out in budget 2009 for the rural transport programme in view of the level of anxiety among passengers on the rural transport network regarding the proposal to abolish the programme in the report of the special group on public service numbers and expenditure programmes; his views...
- Rural Transport Services. (5 Nov 2009)
Tommy Broughan: The Minister appreciates that the rural transport programme provides a wonderful service. It represents the beginning of what could be a real programme of rural transport in this country. As I said the other night, the Government seems to have forgotten that rural dwellers have as much right to public transport services as urban dwellers. The Minister mentioned that 1.5 million journeys...

- Rural Transport Services. (5 Nov 2009)
Tommy Broughan: The Minister refers to the support the Labour Party has given to rural projects. My party, particularly the Leas-Cheann Comhairle when he was in Government, gave a considerable impetus to local community groups that were self-funded. I know this because I took on a role in this regard outside this House. That is why I am so sympathetic to the bodies in question. With regard to the safety...
