Rail Services and Related Transport Matters: Statements.
I ask the Minister to open the toll roads during December. Senator Morrissey will be familiar with the problems which arise in the west of the city as a result of the massive daily tailbacks on the West Link. National Toll Roads has made a fortune through contracts negotiated some years ago. At critical times of the year, when there are considerable car movements in Dublin city and county, we should open up the toll roads. While I am aware a number of organisations have made similar proposals in the past, the measure is particularly necessary in December because of the number of car movements in that month.
