I assure the Minister of State and the Minister for Transport, Deputy Brennan, any inconvenience associated with these projects which might qualify for funding over the next few months would be welcomed with open arms. We will be delighted to suffer that inconvenience and I can assure the Minister of State he will not hear me or, hopefully, any of my colleagues complaining. There have been a number of tremendous infrastructural developments on the eastern side of the country, particularly with Luas. No doubt there have been difficult issues associated with a project like that but I would like to believe they have been resolved. Some of them have been resolved in the media, which is not the best place to do it. Nonetheless, the project is progressing relatively well. Significant milestones have been reached of which we are all aware. Two of the train depots are completed and most of the trams for the Sandyford and Tallaght lines are already delivered and in place. A significant amount of the track has been delayed. There were some bottlenecks associated with the laying of the track and that certainly caused tremendous inconvenience for everyone, Members of the Oireachtas included. Bit by bit, however, they are being resolved. The Railway Procurement Agency has a programme for project commencement which the Minister of State has already indicated will see the Tallaght to Connolly line opened by August 2004 and the Sandyford to St. Stephen's Green line opened by June 2004. While there has been a level of frustration over a number of years the end is in sight. There may be potential delays. We are not sure about that. Within the next number of years, however, these projects will be delivered and we will all reap the benefits. It is a difficulty for people at the time but we have to live with it. To use the old cliché, there is no gain without an element of pain and there is no doubt that people are currently suffering an element of pain.
