Ms Karen Kenny:

In terms of the cities themselves, by mentioning the metropolitan transport strategies we felt we were referring to something very clear and concrete in terms of their detail, and they will be reviewed at appropriate times. There are a range of bodies involved. As regards the rail project for Limerick which the Deputy specifically mentioned, the issue of projects having strategic environmental assessment was mentioned earlier, but the fact that the national strategic rail review is still at a draft stage was not mentioned specifically. It contains proposals for Limerick and all of the cities. If that is finalised by the time we are finalising this document, that will be very helpful and allow us to integrate more elements of it.
