I support colleagues on what is perhaps a more immediately pressing matter, the Luas. We have had a series of discussions going back over many years on transport and particularly the metro system. It gives me no pleasure to say that before construction started on Luas, I predicted that there would be crashes and fatalities. I do not wish to wait for fatalities but I believe there will be some. There are areas of the Luas where cars share the same road space, such as behind the Custom House. There are traffic lights, but the road is then shared for a couple of hundred yards. It is dangerous.
