Order of Business (1 Apr 2009)

Tommy Broughan: The Dublin Transport Authority Bill was passed several months ago but there is no sign of the organisation being established. Given the chaotic transport problems we have at present and the grotesque incompetence of the Minister sitting beside the Taoiseach, is it intended to bring forward the body, or are we to wait for other legislation?

Order of Business (1 Apr 2009)

Tommy Broughan: I realise he is two places down. Must we continue to wait for the new road traffic and transport Bill? We will not see the Taoiseach in the House again this week.

Tommy Broughan: Will the Taoiseach take that decision? The ball is in his court.

Requests to Move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32 (31 Mar 2009)

Tommy Broughan: I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss an issue of national importance and concern, namely, the need for the Minister for Transport to make an urgent statement to the House on the Goodbody report into the taxi industry, particularly in light of the current crisis in that sector and the continuing adverse impact this is having on incomes, working conditions and...

Order of Business (31 Mar 2009)

Tommy Broughan: I refer to the matter I raised under Standing Order 32. I realise we will be very busy on financial matters in the next week or two but would it be possible to discuss the Goodbody report on taxis given that the Oireachtas committee chaired by the Taoiseach's colleague, Frank Fahey, has determined that urgent reform of the taxi sector is needed?
