Seanad debates

Wednesday, 15 October 2003

The Opposition was in Government between 1994 and 1997 when the big question was why we could not extend the platforms in stations as far as Greystones and beyond Skerries. Those opposite were in Government. Why did they not bring in the extended platforms at that stage? The DART is chock-a-block during rush hour every evening. One would not be able to get on unless one queued for an hour, particularly in the Sandymount area where I have tried to get on but it was impossible. Extra carriages are needed, although I am glad to say we have increased the number of carriages. Capacity has been increased by over 50% in the last three years, so we are trying. It is not a success story yet but I want it to be one.
