I propose to take Questions Nos. 102 and 150 together.

I will shortly receive the report of the team I established last November to finalise the remit, structures and human resource requirements of the proposed new transport authority for the greater Dublin area. Once I have received the team's report and had an opportunity to consider its contents, I will bring proposals to the Government for decision. However, in the interim it would not be appropriate for me to speculate about the contents of the team's report or the decisions of the Government arising from it.
