We all recognise the benefits of these projects. What we heard earlier today demonstrates the issues in terms of how these projects are being carried out. In my own constituency, we have the proposed Athlone to Galway greenway that is causing a lot of concern. Local landowners feel pressured in terms of CPO and so on. In response to Deputy Daly, it was suggested that many local authorities are not following the code based on what we have heard earlier today. Is that the case, in Mr O'Connor's view?
