I received the report of the Dublin Transportation Authority Establishment Team on the 28th March 2006. A draft Memorandum for Government is currently the subject of consultations with other Ministers and will be submitted to Government in the near future. A General Scheme of a Bill has been prepared to provide for the establishment of the new transport authority in line with the recommendations of the Team. The General Scheme will be submitted to Government at the same time as the report of the Team. I will be seeking the approval of Government for the priority drafting of the legislation and expect the Bill to be published and enacted during 2006.
