The leader of the Fine Gael Party, Simon Harris, must come into the Dáil to make a statement about his party's investigation into Senator Martin Conway for inappropriate behaviour to a female staff member. We have written to the Ceann Comhairle to request that time be set aside for the Tánaiste to do just this. We know there was an investigation by Fine Gael, but what we do not know is what Simon Harris knew or when he knew it. We also know from media reports that a sum of €10,000 was made in payment. I am sure the Ceann Comhairle will agree with me that a sum of €10,000 suggests a very serious incident. We are entitled to know what happened-----

Skerries and Balbriggan in my constituency are the only two towns in Dublin to be left out of the Dublin central commuter zone. Maynooth, which is in Kildare, and Bray, which is in Wicklow, find themselves in the zone. This means for my constituents an additional potential €440 every year just for the pleasure of taking overcrowded transport to their workplaces in Dublin and beyond. The programme for Government commits to developing sustainable transport options in the growing commuter belt. I live in and represent the growing commuter belt and I do not know how the Minister can square that commitment with heaping even more charges on my constituents. It is deeply frustrating when we see that towns outside Dublin will be included in this zone, while my constituents, who are Dubs living in Dublin, are left out.
