I agree with the Minister. If we could have a cycleway along the line, perhaps all the way to Ranelagh, it would be fantastic because it would serve many secondary schools on the way and get kids off the road.

I know the Minister is favourably disposed at least to exploring the idea of very light rail for Galway. Galway city is frequently at a standstill from Oranmore almost to Barna at peak hours. The very light rail project that I discussed recently with some of the planning people has considerable merit. The Minister mentioned a feasibility study. Are we talking about a full feasibility study for that or is it just a desk exercise?
