Professor Edgar Morgenroth:

Yes, it should have been drafted very differently to start with.

Regarding cycling and pedestrian infrastructure, there is an awful lot of work to be done. As I mentioned in my opening statement, cities need to be liveable and attractive for people to want to be there. Part of this is safety and an ability to get around. That urban realm is something in which we have not invested sufficiently, and we need to invest in it much more. In the more rural areas there is a safety issue. I live in rural Ireland. Cycling in those areas is very dangerous but walking is often quite dangerous as well. There is, again, scope for significant investment there.
