Whenever BusConnects occurs, it will need its own schedule given that the greater Dublin area is involved. Already 30,000 submissions have gone in for phase 1 and they obviously have not gotten through those. Phase 2 is open for submissions on 30 April and I would imagine there will be as many if not more submissions. It would be a seven-year plan if it was implemented tomorrow but it merits a lot more discussion in this Chamber.

I want to talk about the survivors and the families of the victims of the Stardust disaster. Colleagues are all aware of the tragedy of the 40 young people looking for romance that night who died in the fire in Artane. The Attorney General has said, as has the Taoiseach, that they will consider a new inquiry based on new evidence. On Tuesday, the Sinn Féin MEP, Lynn Boylan, and the families of the tragedy marched on Kildare Street and handed in new evidence to the Attorney General. That new evidence was in a 400-page submission including experts from the Grenfell Tower disaster, the 9-11 disaster and the Hillsborough disaster. They have all given new opinions on what happened at Stardust. The working class families of Dublin want a response. They want a new inquest. They believe they have been badly served and that justice has not been done. I ask the Leader to contact the Office of the Taoiseach to see if the Attorney General is prepared to begin a new inquiry given the new evidence that was lodged two days ago.
