That is the potential Senator Coffey mentioned. Opening up that 50 km greenway has resulted in much social enterprise along the route. It is fantastic to see. I am working on a similar project in County Clare. It involves LEADER as well along the banks of the River Fergus between Ennis and Clarecastle. We hope there will be spin-off activity as well. It is about unlocking that and working in partnership. This is a key priority for our committee and I thank the witnesses sincerely for engaging so constructively and positively. We will take up the offer of more engagement and the clerk will be back in touch. I wish the witnesses well in the future. We will suspend and resume in private session.
