Rail Services and Related Transport Matters: Statements.

 

I warmly commend the Minister for putting the emphasis on a link to the airport. That is absolutely vital for tourism reasons and for relieving congestion. We also should remember that Dublin Airport is a national asset and cannot just be seen in the context of Dublin traffic. I disagree with Senator Norris in regard to the LUAS. When the LUAS comes it will be a great asset. My colleague, Senator Morrissey, mentioned traffic lights, but one needs to be realistic about this. Vienna has had trams for the past 50 years and has an excellent service but the trams still stop at traffic lights.
