Seanad debates

Order of Business.
Senator Ulick Burke raised the issue of the NRA, which I have found to be extremely punctilious and proper in its duties. It carries out the tasks given to it by the Government of the day. The Senator mentioned the funding allocated to County Kildare but my colleague, Senator Dardis, quite rightly stated that the work on the Monasterevin bypass accounts for much of what seems to be the considerable expenditure in that county. All who travel in that region will be aware of that. I do not have to stand up for the NRA – it is an independent statutory body – but I have found it to be very professional and careful in what it does.
