Order of Business.

Thomas Byrne (Fianna Fail)
A Minister of State came before the people of Slane during the summer and told them that the Slane bypass was a top five priority project for the Government. It was the first time I had heard the words "top five priority project". I conducted a freedom of information request and to no great surprise found that there is no such thing in the documents I received. I am sure Senators would be delighted to hear what are the other four of the top five priority projects. We would like to find out what they are. There is nothing in the documents I received through a freedom of information request that would indicate there is any such thing as a top five priority list or that the Slane bypass is included in it, which it should be if there is such a list.
