I have an observation. The terms of reference of this working group will be key because they will determine the outcomes. What is needed is almost an implementation plan coming out of the working group. If it was straightforward, it would have been done. However, it involves myriad local authorities. We can take up the terms of reference of the working group. It is there and it is up and running. The membership is key. The terms of reference are vital because they deal with putting in place an implementation programme, more or less straight away, rather than it just being a report.

I agree with Mr. Waide. Equally, I know one thing from my years around this. In the long term, it works to put in the work, to get the due diligence right and to have a structured approach. Otherwise, what happens is, there is great enthusiasm, the balloons go up, and then, basically, the document is found to be toothless. The devil is in the detail. I do not know if Ms Swift or Ms O'Dea would agree, but there is an opportunity here in implementation. I agree with Deputy Matthews. The question here is not just about Bray; it is about a multitude of areas. Everyone wants safety and everyone wants us to reduce speeds. Equally, there will be those who give out that they cannot get from point A to point B. This is about serious public buy-in as well.
