Mr. Peter Walsh:

It is a bit more complex than that. In general, TII would agree with that. However, if we take some roads that would be bypassed, such as some sections of the N22 in Cork, it is an extremely tortuous alignment to encourage people to go out there on bicycles without dealing with some sort of enhanced design to improve the safety for vulnerable road users. We cannot just tell them to use the old road. People will still be travelling at 80 km/h and it is an unfair competition between vulnerable road users and cars.
