Shane Moynihan (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail)

I thank everybody very much for coming in. I have three quick questions. I will ask all of them in one go and I can get one answer at the end. What does the current interaction and consultation process look like with regard to engaging with landowners? What touch points are there? What sort of substantive engagement is there with the landowners?

Turning to my constituency, I would like to get a progress report on when the extension of the Grand Canal greenway from the 12th lock to Hazelhatch will be completed. I know there were issues with ducting and water during previous stages of the plan.

What is the role of TII with regard to the acquisition of old structures that could be repurposed for greenways? I know that Palmerstown is inside the greater Dublin area, so it would not necessarily sit under the organisation’s responsibility, but there is the Silver Bridge, or Guinness Bridge, that spans the River Liffey between Farmleigh and Waterstown Park. I think it is an ideal structure for the facilitation of walking and cycling. Does TII have a remit or a role in the acquisition and upgrading of those structures to enable them to be used?
