John Paul Phelan (Fine Gael)

I agree with the views expressed by colleagues about the Government's new transport policy, which was announced yesterday. The new policy is a rehash of previous broken promises which will not be realised on this occasion. I am disappointed by the manner in which the announcement was made and the Government still does not appear to comprehend the idea of value for money, particularly regarding the delivery of transport initiatives.

Senator Jim Walsh made a very interesting contribution to today's Order of Business.
