I was very interested to hear the Minister of State, Deputy Ring, speak about the way he progressed the development of the greenways in his part of the country. We have a proposal for a greenway in south Kerry. It is an important and laudable project but it is running into difficulty in that a compulsory purchase order, CPO, process has been initiated. In recent days, unsavoury slogans were erected on roadsides, including where the Ring of Kerry cycle took place where 13,000 or 14,000 people could see it. I am sad that such actions were taken that condemned our officials in Kerry County Council.
