Will the Taoiseach commit to doing a feasibility study?

I do not see the Minister, Deputy Ryan, having any difficulty in committing to a feasibility study. He wants to accelerate light rail proposals and initiatives across the country. I will talk to him about the Galway situation. The Deputy said he has refused.

The Government has failed to act repeatedly.

The Deputy made a comment and perhaps I could get clarification. She said he had refused a feasibility study.

I said it had been refused. If I put it badly, I apologise.

The Deputy should-----

I beg the Taoiseach's pardon. He asked me to clarify. I raised the issue repeatedly with the previous Minister with responsibility for transport.

That was the previous Minister. Deputy Ryan is the current Minister.

I am aware of that.

We should not be making such declarations. We should give the Minister the benefit of the doubt.

The study has been refused repeatedly.

From my conversations with the Minister, he is an enthusiast of light rail.

Great.

He is an enthusiast of public transport.

Except taxis.

And a feasibility study.

Time is up.

On the gender issue, it is a point well made. This kind of Bill will create opportunities in respect of agencies and councils and so on.
