I have just two questions, one of which is on a good note. Ms Graham stated that the National Transport Authority reviewed its overall strategy, the Dublin Transport Initiative. Originally, I was led to believe, an outer orbital route was proposed because of the M50 being overloaded. Has that gone off the plans?

On a good note, as we all will be aware, the IRFU is bidding for the 2023 World Cup. We see what happened in Thurles. It lost out because they said Thurles does not have enough accommodation and road infrastructure access. Obviously, the IRFU also has been on to the National Transport Authority. Should the IRFU be successful, will the National Transport Authority have all its infrastructure in place? Will new buses be bought? What else will be happening?
