The Supplementary Estimate refers to the cycling measures and scheme in the greater Dublin area. On the projects to which the Deputy referred, Galway, Cork and Limerick are included. The initial use of the Galway scheme is different from what we expected, but I am confident that we will be able to increase usage of the scheme to the levels we have seen elsewhere. We need to consider the location of stations and how they interact with the campus in the area, and other areas may need a little bit more work. I have every reason to believe it can be as successful as other places, primarily because I am aware of the congestion difficulties currently faced by the city.

Deputy Paschal Donohoe: The Supplementary Estimate refers to the cycling measures and scheme in the greater Dublin area. On the particular projects to which the Deputy referred in other cities, Galway, Cork and Limerick are inclded. It is fair to say that the initial use of the Galway scheme is different to what we expected, but I am confident that we will be able to increase the usage of the scheme to the levels we have seen elsewhere. We need to consider where the stations have been located, how they interact with the campus in the air area and other areas perhaps need a little bit more work. I have every reason to believe that can be as successful as other places, primarily because I am aware of the congestion difficulties the city currently faces.
