Jim McDaid (Donegal North East, Fianna Fail)

I look forward to 2005 when all the Opposition Senators, Deputies and critics in the media and elsewhere see what has happened in regard to the Luas, the port tunnel and all the other infrastructural projects. It will be a marvellous country in 2005 and 2006. People should stop concentrating on just the Red Cow roundabout. They should look at all the other projects which have been completed in the past five to ten years. They should be proud of this work and the onward march of the nation which is taking place as a result of our economic success in the past five to ten years.
