I thank our guests for their presentation. It is lovely to have them here. On the issue of repopulation, extremely rural areas such as Glenfarne in north Leitrim, which is almost on the Border, as well as Belcoo, Blacklion and Manorhamilton, are suffering from continuous depopulation. A new house has not been built there since 2016. People are dying off and no one comes to replace them. It is a significant challenge for the communities and businesses. What is the perspective of the witnesses on the challenges for such areas? They would, of course, benefit from greenways, but if they do not have enough people living there, it is really difficult.
