That is fair enough. The National Transport Authority undertook a feasibility study last year with regard to light rail in Galway. The feasibility study showed that, under the right conditions, there could be a case for developing a light rail system in Galway city. As I think most people are aware, it is the capital of the west. There is enormous growth in Galway. It is expected that will continue to 2040 and 2050. First of all, we need a range of measures, including the ring road and light rail, to ensure the city's transport infrastructure is fit for purpose. Is any follow-up to last year's feasibility study regarding the light rail in Galway planned by the NTA or Transport Infrastructure Ireland?
