Road Safety: Motion.
The Minister has displayed commendable political courage in moving forward with the penalty points initiative. I ask him to apply a similar degree of political courage to another major problem confronting us, namely, traffic congestion in our capital city. Progress is being made, for example, the Dublin Port tunnel will open in 2005, the M50 will be completed in the same year, provided we can sort out the cock-up in Carrickmines, the network of quality bus corridors wilI be extended significantly, as the Minister announced earlier this week, and the Luas will open from the middle of next year.
