I proposed in the Dáil today that the Luas be extended from Broombridge to the Airport via Finglas. The population of Finglas is growing and is in urgent need of proper public transport links.

As part of the outreach work I have been doing as the Sinn Féin spokesperson on Drugs and Alcohol misuse I visited Merchants Quay Ireland on a fact finding tour and was kindly shown around their excellent facilities by the CEO Mr. Tony Geoghegan, who kindly give up a couple of hours of his busy schedule to facilitate the meeting and tour. I was privilged also to meet and speak with the dedicatied and hard working staff.
