I ask the Leader to invite the Minister for Transport, Deputy Cullen, to the House to discuss the inadequate service signage on dual carriageways and motorways, which is costing us jobs. Business has plummeted in Rochfordbridge, Kinegad and other small towns and villages bypassed by motorways because of inadequate signposting of services in those locations. In Rochfordbridge 17 jobs have been lost and I understand more jobs are under threat in filling stations, restaurants and other stores because of the inadequate signposting of services. On the Continent we see much more adequate signposting of the services available in the smaller towns and villages. We have long stretches of motorway without service stations. A debate would go some way to address the issue. I will give another example. When people leave an airport or a ferry port they do not know where to go.
