—I hope he has taken note of the very good proposal that has been put forward by my colleague, Senator Joe McHugh, for a rail link between Letterkenny and Derry.

The motion put down by Senator Morrissey and his Progressive Democrats colleagues expresses a fear that the Red Cow roundabout will become a mad cow roundabout if remedial measures are not taken by the Minister for Transport.
