Mr. Hugh Creegan:

I suppose there is a difference between the services and the infrastructure. The services can run as far as we need them to run. We certainly see ourselves putting a park and ride site in Wicklow and picking up people from there and another park and ride site around Fassaroe. I believe there is a third one planned along the corridor, but I have forgotten exactly where.

In terms of infrastructure, the section of the N11-M11 corridor that is being looked at in terms of providing bus priorities is from its junction with the M50, or the Loughlinstown roundabout, down as far as Kilmacanogue or the junction south of Kilmacanogue.

After that, you are into Glen of the Downs, which has designations and everything else. It would phenomenally challenging to go further than that. We would be delighted to get bus priority all the way from north of Glen of the Downs to the Loughlinstown roundabout. Services could then gain benefit from that section while running as far south as we need them to run, certainly to Wicklow. Services coming from Gorey or further south could also use those sites.
