Public Transport: Motion.
There is also the utter farce of the Red Cow roundabout where the Government is floundering around, throwing out weekly possible solutions and, clearly, does not have a clue how to deal with it. Three or four weeks ago we were told we could spend €1 billion upgrading the M50. Then we were told the Luas could be put on stilts and later still that the roundabout could be redesigned at a cost of €100 million and that part of the M50 could be upgraded at a cost of €300 million. I do not care what is done if it works. I represent the views of most people in Dublin when I say that. The bottom line is that ten years after we first talked about Luas we do not know what the solution to that problem will be. However, we know that whatever solution is found will almost certainly delay the project beyond its mid-next year end point so that there will be further delay and further diminishing of the service when it eventually becomes available.
