The issue of greenways crosses over a little with programme B. There was a great news story in Waterford at the weekend and I think it is accepted that it is money really well spent. Being a little parochial, I see the south Kerry greenway on the old Valentia to Farranfore railway line, which I have fully supported from day one, will need capital funding. Tralee to Fenit is queued and waiting for capital funding. Kilmorna to Listowel is too. We have great opportunity for a full network in Kerry. Throughout the country there are so many examples. What is the outlook on capital funding for greenways? Is it a priority and is it one for which we might be able to leverage extra funding?
