- Light Rail Projects. (12 Nov 2008)
Tommy Broughan: When will the feasibility studies be published? Many people have worked very hard on those projects. I note the Green Party gave an absolute commitment to the people of those four cities to provide light rail systems and so far we have seen nothing only hot air.

- Road Safety. (12 Nov 2008)

- Road Safety. (12 Nov 2008)
Tommy Broughan: I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. With regard to the road safety strategy, we have had almost 250 deaths so far this year and recently we had a couple of very bad weekends in terms of deaths and casualties. We know each of these family tragedies costs the country approximately â¬3 million. Already this year, the tragedies have cost us â¬750 million. The Minister of State referred to...

- Road Safety. (12 Nov 2008)

Is he waiting until after the local elections? Drivers are not...

- Fuel Prices. (12 Nov 2008)

Tommy Broughan: Do vehicles run on air?
- Fuel Prices. (12 Nov 2008)
Tommy Broughan: The Minister's answers are unbelievable and scandalous. All vehicles run on fuel and the cost of the input is of vital importance. Is the Minister concerned by the impact on public transport providers, including taxi drivers, bus operators and so on, of the increase in fuel prices? Is he concerned by the impact of increases on our two major airlines, Ryanair and Aer Lingus? Did the...
