Mr. Hugh Creegan:
To start with the BusConnects infrastructure, as mentioned in the opening statement, we have sought planning consent for 12 corridors to build bus priority and cycle lanes along. We have now got consent from An Bord Pleanála for six of those. We are, hopefully, going to go to tender for the first two at the end of this month and get them into the construction phase at the start of next year. As soon as we get another two corridors that are clean and there is no judicial review of them, we will get those into construction quickly too.
In terms of the other projects, MetroLink is with An Bord Pleanála, as the Deputy is aware.
