I would just encourage engagement as early as possible with the communities living along this route. I remember doing reconnaissance in January 2018, in driving south from Dublin to Wexford and Waterford along that part of the coastline. There is immense potential. I agree with Mr. Kelly on the issue of sustainability, which is the buzzword we need to focus on. This can be done and become a very successful product and can again mirror the success of the Wild Atlantic Way, which is only seeing the beginning of its success. In further developing that into a continuous walking route, this can be something for many generations to come and can be a great moneyspinner for local communities along the way. I thank the Charman, the committee and our witnesses.
