Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

While I welcome the menu of projects announced yesterday I do so grudgingly because we have heard these promises before. It will be scant comfort to commuters in Navan and in my own constituency of Dublin West because they will be forced to wait several years before any improvement is made to the transport infrastructure. The Minister for Transport should remember that it is possible to fool some of the people some of the time but not all the people all of the time. If the Minister and the Government believe this series of projects will be accepted by people, they are fooling themselves. We cannot wait until 2015 for the delivery of many of these projects.
