That is very helpful. Regarding inter-urban motorways, concern has been raised about the design style of some of the access and egress points to and from the main thoroughfares. Mr. Llewellyn may not be familiar with this issue, in which case it may be a takeaway for him. I know of a number of such junctions that I can identify for him. The ones closest to us in Clare are the Tulla Road, Barefield and Crusheen exits. Deputy Lowry will be familiar with another one, on the M7, which I pass every week entering Moneygall. Coming off at that exit is particularly difficult because one is coming down an incline and pulling into a rest area and truck stop at the Barack Obama Plaza. We have had some debate about this in the past. Are there any discussions internally in TII about looking at and addressing those particular junctions? I will not say they are hazardous but they certainly are suboptimal considering the volumes of traffic entering and exiting motorways. Getting off the motorway, in particular, is the major issue.
