Ms Dearbhla Lawson:

On the Deputy's point on the transport strategy and links, many of those under the NTA are very good. It is demand led. Once the housing is delivered, the BusConnects plans will be reviewed over time. Therefore, I believe there are opportunities for improvement. It is certainly something we want to commit to.

The Deputy asked about the prison site. It was included in our report on relevant public lands. There has been engagement with the Irish Prison Service and the various Departments. I understand they have a need for the building at the moment but we are awaiting the Government's consideration of the report on relevant public lands. We shall await the response to that. The building is certainly included as having potential, but that is subject to its becoming available to us.
