Ms Anne Graham:

I am sorry, but it is very hard for us to say how that is going to work when we do not have a proposed structure in front of us. It could be quite a complicated structure, which would mean it could get very unwieldy in terms of delivery. The only experience we have is what has been proposed in terms of the directly elected mayor for Limerick. There, we still retain a non-statutory function to deliver a transport strategy, but there is now a commission and a subcommittee of the mayor's office that looks after transport and the delivery of the NDP in that area. We report into that committee if we are asked to do so by the mayor's office. That is where the interaction is currently as regards what is proposed in Limerick. We are guided by what has been published in relation to that and it remains to be seen whether that is what will be proposed for Dublin. Again, we will be guided by what ultimately goes into the proposed Bill.
