I thank the Minister for the briefing provided by his team. For programme A, cycling, walking and greenway, the outturn for 2024 was €387 million. As the Minister has outlined, the budget for 2025 is €360 million. That is a 7% decrease in terms of what was spent in 2024 versus what is budgeted this year. There is real concern about the almost systematic removal of references to cycling in this programme for Government versus the previous one. In light of that difference in actual spend versus proposed spend this year, can the Minister offer any reassurance that he will look to spend at least as much on these vital programmes in 2025 as was spent in 2024?
