Finance Bill 2003 [ Certified Money Bill ] : Second Stage.
Enterprises and industrialists look at competitiveness and infrastructure, but what do they see when they look at this country? They see broadband communications not rolled out and lagging behind other countries; traffic congestion which means that delivery costs are too high – Dublin is second only to Calcutta in that respect; a country that has failed to meet its electricity generation requirements which has led to inadequate and unreliable power supply; a country where electricity costs are expensive; and one where there is a Third World rail system.
