I thank the witness for that. To refer to the point Mr. Bannigan raised about hiring consultants to come up with the answer one wants, my understanding, and the witness can correct me if I am wrong, is that the group I mentioned recommended that the eastern option would have the least impact on Carlow. That is the route that goes through poor Deputy Deering's homestead and my home village. It goes through Wicklow. If the committee intends to invite more groups, that group should be invited. It recommended a certain route, and I believe that should not be the remit of an independent group.
