That is an important and valid point. That first section, in the end, was agreed and developed, and it was for the local community. It was their clear sense that they had been excluded, isolated and not provided with connectivity, particularly in the community of Moyross. When we agreed that with Limerick City and County Council, a condition to proceeding was that we would also take down the walls that surround some of those communities that restrict their accessibility to other communities, and that we would also build some of the BusConnect projects in Limerick with urgency and speed, so that the Moyross community and others would connect up and the city would start to work with a really high-quality functioning public transport network. I look forward, when I go to Limerick to meet the community in Moyross and the city manager, to asking where the plans are to honour the commitment to take down those walls and increase accessibility and public transport services. I believe that is the key to the project's successful development and making sure it is not an isolated asset that leaves the communities without the public transport and accessibility services that they deserve.
