I remember former Deputy Seamus Brennan proposed a busway on the Luas corridor in 1987. I was at the opening of the Luas in 2004. I get the point but I would still like some level of window, even if it is a three-year window. I thank Mr. Creegan for that, as far as it goes.

We talked about safe routes. There are so many housing estates where there is a wall or something that stops them. Local authorities are looking at this. These routes can sometimes be controversial because people think they will have the Tour de France going through their estate every day, but is there an element of permeability? Sometimes, when these things are opened, people say they never realised they could get from there to there. It takes 25 minutes in the car or in traffic, or an hour to walk but, all of a sudden, if the wall is knocked down, it is different. Does the NTA do any work on that? Does it fund local authorities doing work on this? Does it promote that kind of thing?
