John Paul O'Shea (Cork North-West, Fine Gael)

I appreciate that and I thank Mr. Byrne. I thank the witnesses very much for attending today. I thank Ms Coad and Mr Byrne for their time and effort on the development and operation of rural recreation programmes and how recreation in the outdoors can be promoted and enhanced. I also recognise the chair of the County Wicklow Partnership, Liz Wall, who is here today in the Gallery. I thank her for joining us. I thank the committee members for contributing. It gives us a great insight into how people have ploughed a furrow for many years. Other counties are now trying to follow suit. The witnesses have given a great insight into what can be done when there is a partnership approach.
