Seanad debates

Wednesday, 5 March 2003

I ask the Leader to arrange a debate on transport, with particular focus on the proposed metro for Dublin. During a debate, this House produced the amendment that helped to create the idea of the metro. The Minister for Transport recently visited Madrid and Copenhagen to see if a system can be constructed in Dublin much more efficiently and cheaply. I believe that is possible and the Minister will be in a position to advise the House of the results of his researches. This is especially important given the enormous cost over-runs on the construction of the Luas light rail system, which will not make the slightest difference to traffic congestion in Dublin.
