Mr. Peter Walsh:

The environmental requirements and planning requirements are such that it had to be done from a starting point of looking at the objectives set for the project and then the manner in which those objectives could be met. It was a different process. It was a multimodal process. We had to look at public transport, as well the road options, or I should say Limerick City and County Council had to. These directives and the requirements for investigations are there for very good reasons. I would be reluctant to suggest we could skip any of those.
