I do not think that is a good enough reason to go with a tarmac product. The point that Mr. Walsh raised there about a greenway just being a tourist attraction limits the use of what a greenway could be. For example, we are considering closing exits from the N11, we need to concentrate on improving the inter-town connectivity where people from those towns would have been coming out onto the N11, using it as a short hop commute and back again. Let us get the connectivity right.
