That is perfect. Yesterday, outside Leinster House, I met some concerned citizens who live along the proposed Athlone to Galway greenway. I was on Galway County Council at the time the consultants were appointed, although the consultants have since exited the project. What is the state of play for the Athlone to Galway greenway? The big concern that people had was that their land could be compulsorily purchased to provide for the greenway. Every engagement I had with the consultants at the time suggested to me that everything was going to be by agreement, primarily, and that severance of farms was a no-go. What is the position regarding the Athlone to Galway greenway? Are CPOs still on the table and, if so, why?
