There is an urgent need to improve the safety, quality and reliability of our road network-----

That is grand. To which Bill is the Deputy referring?

-----particularly through the midlands.

There is no Bill through the midlands. What is the name of the Bill?

There is a bottleneck between Mullingar and Longford because the motorway was never completed. When will the road traffic Bill be introduced? The travelling public needs a wider choice.

I also refer to the road transport Bill. Last weekend, the Taoiseach visited the midlands and turned the sod for Jazz Pharmaceuticals in Athlone-----

Will the Deputy please resume his seat?

-----and a director of the company pointed out how important good connectivity is to the midlands. There is a motorway between Dublin and Galway but the motorway has not been completed between Dublin and Sligo and this is a problem for the north midlands.

The Deputy should table a parliamentary question. I call the Taoiseach to answer the questions on the Bills.

The traffic and transport Bills are scheduled for early next year.

The Taoiseach is not the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government. He does not deal with the content of legislation.

He does not micro-manage.
