Rail Services and Related Transport Matters: Statements.
We are a trading nation. If we do not examine the access to Dublin Port Tunnel now we will have problems – I do not want to get into this debate today, but it is a major issue the Minister might have to address. There is no point in taking some of the trucks off our streets. If we have standards for bridges on the M50 it is ludicrous that the tunnel leading to it from the port will not allow trucks to get to it. Surely we will not have a sign on the Dublin Port Tunnel saying "Low Bridge Ahead". If we have standards we should apply them. There should be some examination of what is happening at the Dublin Port Tunnel currently. The biggest underground cover-up in the history of this State is taking place. The Minister will have to address that, as well as the Luas system at Parkgate Street and other such intersections.
