Joe O'Toole (Independent)

The putting of thousands of tons of freight on overcrowded Irish roads should be resisted by all parties and by people all over the country. I ask the Cathaoirleach to take a brave stand on the issue so that the people in the House can express their views before the CIE board comes to a decision. I look forward to making that case in an hour and hope the Cathaoirleach will allow a full debate. Perhaps the Leader could confirm that and save us putting the Order of Business to a vote.
