Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I will be making representations that this order be removed. I commend Deputy McCarthy, that courageous Labour Deputy from Cork, who stood out and opposed this. He stated that it created an impression that politicians were above and beyond the norms applying to the public. That is the impression.

Yesterday when I was arriving at Heuston Station, there were 50 taxis lined up. They are allowed to use the bus lanes. How will they feel trying to survive in this city now that Ministers and Ministers of State fly by on the bus lanes exempt from prosecution?
