Timmy Dooley (Fianna Fail)

I join Senator Quinn in asking the Deputy Leader to congratulate all those involved in the construction and development of the Luas. In this House and in the transport committee, there has been much debate on the difficulties that arose with the construction phase of it. It is heartening to see that a four year project has come on stream only two months behind schedule. That is a great credit to those involved with it. We should also recognise that the Leader, Senator O'Rourke, was involved in the early stages of the inception of this project and give her due recognition for that.
