That is a statement of confidence by us as a city in the region. It is not about Limerick competing with Cork or Galway; it is about providing the synergy to be a counter-pole to Dublin. I respect the Minister's view but, equally, as a public representative for Limerick city, I fundamentally believe we must have rail and a motorway. They are not mutually exclusive. There is a process under way and the M20 is in the NDP.
