Mr. David O'Connor:

I will begin. Certainly it is taken account of but being in the local plan or the development plan does not mean it will be activated. It is about placing emphasis on activating it and making it happen. We certainly welcome the delivery of the active travel teams. We go back to our point about public appointments and being able to bring in the right type of people, including community people and communications people to realise these things and make them happen.

I echo the points made by Dr. FitzGerald on the institutional framework and arrangement. Where this has successfully happened has been in an agency-based approach. Abbotstown was happening very well and there was very innovative design on walkability and permeability until, unfortunately, the economic collapse. The Grangegorman agency will do similar work on permeability. Dublin City Council has come in with filtered permeability mechanisms. The points on multidisciplinary teams and flexible public appointments are key. My colleague, Dr. Rock, will also comment on this.
