Ms Anne Graham:

That is a separate matter that we have already addressed.

On the active travel fund, €300 million of funding has been made available by the Government, which we have now dispersed to all local authorities. There was a process because many rural local authorities had not got an active travel plan for their counties. They now have a plan for each county. Those that are being developed initially are probably the ones that will deliver the most for the most people. It is not that we do not fund in other smaller towns. It is possibly that the local authorities commenced in the larger towns to get delivery to more people. We want to ensure there are services right across the county and not just for major towns. That is not a hindrance. The local authorities are probably just working to see how they can get delivery in those major towns initially.

The matter of lock-up bikes and shelters for bikes is something we will take away and look at. As we know from the challenges associated with delivery of bus stops, there is an additional challenge in trying to find space at the side of a road for lock-ups. It is difficult even in urban areas in Dublin to find the space so it would be challenging-----
