The secretariat received a response from Galway County Council regarding an update of the state of the greenway because, as the Deputy noted, there are two sides to it. Galway County Council does not want to go into it until the all-Ireland strategic review is completed because there is a push from one side to have a greenway and a push on the other side to reopen the railway corridor in the west. There is the argument that, as the Deputy noted, a greenway and railway line can work side by side. You do not just take over a railway line and close it forever more.
