People have a view of that. That is fine. I am sure people talked to Monsignor Horan when he started to build the airport and told him he would never succeed. You can laugh if you like, but at the end of the day we have to have ambition to improve our country and improving our rail network across the entire island is part of that. This may well be part of it. I am not saying it will be, but it may well be. Certainly, I have an ambition to see that happen and to see greenways happen as well. It is both. This is where the division comes in. When Mr. Quinn says it will never happen, it gives people the impression that he wants it to never happen. He needs to be careful about that if he wants to progress an argument which will validate his point of view.
