That is the first time I have heard that. It is good to know.

I am over time but I ask the Leas-Chathaoirleach to allow me to make a final point relating to Mallow. The mood music for Mallow seems positive and I hope that when TII makes these announcements in the coming days, sufficient funding will be provided for the town. Obviously, the ring road has transformative potential for the town. My wife's family are from Macroom. They see the positive impacts the ring road there has had in their local area. Fingers crossed, that funding will be provided for Mallow.
