I ask the Deputy Leader to call on the Minister for Transport to come to the House for a debate on the current situation at the M50 roundabout, where it is a lottery as to which direction one might take. It is simple to give clear directions for necessary works. That is one issue.

Another, the question over Ryanair's current advertisement, is possibly one for the regulator. It is not appropriate for a fine company, which has opened up air travel for all of us and which has done such great work internationally, to use an icon of a foreign country in what is basically a rude gesture. It is not good enough. It is not funny. It does not serve the purpose for which it was meant. Especially in a foreign country, to use Uncle Sam in that way with the two fingers salute is not appropriate. It is not witty. It is crass. A fine company can do without that.

By all accounts, the petrol station on the quays is the first most people will meet when they come off the ferry. Looking forward to cheaper prices in Ireland, they pull in to this station to fill up and find themselves paying €1.70 per litre, whereas it costs €1.20 elsewhere. We dealt with this in the last session and we got some action. Could we have some action on this again? Charging 50 cents over the odds to people who are just coming off the ferry is wrong.
