Tom Morrissey (Progressive Democrats)

Earlier in the week I asked the Leader to make time available after the Easter recess to discuss transport. Such a debate is now more urgent than ever, especially in view of the publication today of the strategic rail review. Moreover, the director of traffic in Dublin, Mr. Owen Keegan, has questioned the Minister's policy for a metro and he said that traffic congestion has been overestimated. A key player, Mr. Keegan – who is an unelected official – is now stating what future policy should be, against the policy of the Government.
