In respect of amendment No. 64, will the Minister explain the extent of the Dublin Transport Authority Act? Are we talking about places within Dublin or does the range go outside Dublin? That is the first question. Second, it seems to give compulsory purchase power to the authority to mitigate the impact of public transport infrastructure by purchasing land. I would argue it should include active travel infrastructure as well. It applies, for example, if there is an impact on the availability of parking. I am not sure that power is consistent with what we are trying to achieve. We cannot say parking is being removed here and we will provide it in some other place and acquire somebody's land to do so. This could be looked at.
