I thank Mr. Walsh. They were all specific questions, so a note will suffice. The cat’s eye proposal is very simple. It is a design feature on which TII could form a position very quickly to support them being used on new build roads from here on. They have been transformational elsewhere. I have seen it myself in one country. I was driving by night, and as I reached a certain section of the road, I saw it was lit up with blue cat’s eyes. I knew in that moment that, irrespective of the speed limit, I had to make a decision to slow down and approach with caution. The cat’s eyes are the same price as our standard cat’s eyes. It is a simple change we should consider in Ireland.
