I welcome our guests from TII. We met Mr. Walsh in Athlone. He is a big campaigner for cycleways and one of my great passions is the Galway to Dublin cycleway, which is progressing. The bridge is being built and the sections of it that have been put in place are beautiful. I look forward to it being opened and to the next section being added. Are there any timelines on the final section being completed? I know that the team in the Ballinasloe office are working well.

Turning to the issue of tolls, I live in Ballinasloe, so I am familiar with the tolls at Enfield. On the way to Galway, tolls are paid at Cappataggle. This relates to the M4 and the M6. Am I correct in thinking Mr. Walsh stated that by 2033, there will be no further tolls on these sections of the M4 and the M6?
