So many questions have already been asked. However, in light of the fact that there will be environmental impacts of which the witnesses will be aware of in the context of gardens being lost, trees being knocked down and streetscapes changing significantly, are there proposals to add value in terms of street furniture, environmental improvements or even new parks? This is a €2 billion project and I appreciate that it is focused on transport but the environment and improvements to it are essential considerations. In my view, taking cognisance of the environment and of the impact this project will have on it would lead to a greater appreciation of what is being done.
