I am glad Senators Paddy Burke and Wilson have opened the batting to make this a somewhat more contentious debate than it looked like it would be judging by the less controversial nature of the Bill. To state, as Senator Wilson did, that it is time for us all to be positive about what is happening on our motorways represents naivety in the extreme. I suggest that Senator Wilson should go to the West Link toll plaza in approximately 25 minutes and tell that to the people who are often stuck in six miles of traffic from the toll plaza back to Shankill.
