All the apparatus of both Houses of the Oireachtas are then directed against one.
A Chathaoirligh, what precisely is happening and will Members have an opportunity to contribute on the information that will be placed before the House at that point?
A great deal of Government money has been invested in Luas, which is unfortunate as it would have been much better to spend it on a metro. Luas, in operation, will create considerable danger for both the pedestrian and the cycling public. I came down on a bicycle today and there is no provision whatever for cyclists on O'Connell Street. The Dublin tour buses are wandering round and squeezing out the cyclists and the trams will be crossing. Will the Leader ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government to look at the provision of cycle lanes?
