I will make a second point because this is critical. Another point I made to the Limerick city manager, on which we agreed and I hope the Deputy will support, is that in building the Coonagh-Knockalisheen road it is critical that at the same time we start to build the BusConnects in Limerick and the cycling routes in Limerick, which would transform the city from the University of Limerick to LIT and out to Mary Immaculate College on the other side of the city as well as the key BusConnects corridors that would connect Moyross to the city and connect through the city. That is vital.

The third key point is we have to take down the walls that surround Moyross, which close it off from neighbouring estates, so that we get improved pedestrian access and improved access to schools and workplaces and other facilities. The first thing we need to do in Limerick is build the pedestrian, cycling and bus facilities that will see that area of the city thrive. That is where my focus will be in terms of delivery.
