Mr. John McMahon:

A question was asked earlier about transport. If memory serves, some bus transport was organised within the park. I am not too sure whether we did it or whether others were involved. It may been outside operators delivering people to the event but when the routes were determined, it emerged that there were branches overhanging them. This was particularly the case in Knock. I know this for a fact because I visited Knock. The route around the shrine is nicely landscaped but the trees there had grown over the years. When the route for vehicles was determined by the local organisers, health and safety reasons - it always involves health and safety - the branches had to be cut back. That was the solution.
