That is good. I appreciate the Minister's commitment to it.

I spoke to some people last week on the Galway proposals for Connecting Ireland. I am concerned that some of the planning has taken place at desk level and that people on the ground are not aware. For example, I made the point last week that the Annaghdown commuter stop is 10.4 km from Annaghdown and the Corrandulla one is 1.5 km from Corrandulla village. I flag that to the Minister because we need people to get on the ground and be sure of what they are talking about before they put plans in place with respect to the future commuter links coming into Galway city. It is all a question of getting as much traffic off the road as we possibly can in Galway.
