Ms Deirdre Hanlon:

My recollection is that the McCann report identified the piece that already has been built as that piece which connects Limerick and Galway and that the economic benefit one would derive from that is stronger than the potential economic benefit from the others because none of the possible future phases would connect areas that already are centres of such economic activity and population density. Therefore the benefit to come from it would not be as strong.

The Deputy asked who is doing it.
