I hope the Chairman will not mind if Senator Horkan and I go very local. I am a constituent of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, where he was formerly a councillor. We have a long history. The Clonskeagh Road is very familiar to me. I live off it. Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown has done the best in terms of advancing new active travel. It is very difficult. The proposal for Deansgrange is very contentious. Clonskeagh Road is next up or one of the routes into the city centre at which we are looking. It is a major cycling artery through Ranelagh and into the city centre.

It is not designed to be safe at the moment. The junction at the bottom of Clonskeagh Road and Clonskeagh Bridge is a controversial spot. There is a pinch point where there is a right turn onto Beaver Row. There is a question of whether it should be reallocated to be a single carriageway, with space to make it really safe to cycle on, which engineers are recommending. That is a very difficult decision. Many people use this as a commuting route or for local access. It changes. It is contentious and difficult. It might be helped by the fact that I understand the council will look at Beaver Row. I think it is Dublin City Council.
