Broadband Services: Motion (26 Feb 2008)

Michael D'Arcy: I welcome the opportunity to address this positive motion. This side of the House has long been lectured, in particular by the Tánaiste and Minister for Finance, Deputy Cowen, who today stated Fine Gael is "policy bankrupt". Nothing could be further from the truth. I will not go over the figures quoted already but 17% penetration is extremely poor. This motion has a target of 100%...

Park and Ride Facilities. (6 Mar 2008)

Michael D'Arcy: I thank the Minister for his reply. I live in Gorey, as he may or may not know.
