Shane Ross (Independent)

I had to listen to the Minister the other day on "Morning Ireland" when asked a question on a demand management report which is being done on the M50. In characteristic ebullient style he did not answer the question. What is happening on the M50 is a piece of sleight of hand and it very cunning. It is purely and simply designed to pacify an enraged electorate. That is the reason I pointed out to Senator Wilson that it is absolutely ridiculous to tell people to be positive when they are stuck for hours at the West Link toll plaza every single day.
