Ba mhaith liom dhá cheist a ardú le Ceannaire an Tí a bhaineann le cúrsaí tuaithe go bunúsach. Maidir leis an clár taistil tuaithe, nó rural transport programme, tá ráflaí sa timpealleacht go mb'fhéidir go mbeidh deireadh á chur leis an gclár sin. Tá sin ag cur an-imní ar mhuintir na tuaithe mar gheall ar an tseirbhís iontach a thugann an clár sin. Bheadh sé thar cionn dá dtiocfadh an tAire Iompair isteach sa Teach le ceisteanna a fhreagairt agus le todhchaí an chláir sin a dheimhniú dúinn.

Will the Leader of the House ask the Minister for Transport to come to the House to discuss the rural transport programme because rural people are very worried about the possibility that it might be axed in the coming months?

Chomh maith le sin, ba mhaith liom tacú leis na moltaí a rinne na Seanadóirí romham maidir le Aerfort na Gaillimhe. One of the interesting aspects about Galway Airport which seems to be overlooked is that 80% of the traffic is international so the argument that we now have roads that will get people here and there in a fast time does not count for the 80% of people travelling internationally.
