Mr. Kevin Kelly:

I suppose it is fair to say that the elected members in Mayo County Council played a proactive role in the formation of the development plan. While I had many detailed discussions on many aspects of it, I did not have a particular discussion with them on that wording, so I can only offer my perception, which is that the thinking was that having a feasibility study option included, might in some way weaken the case for rail restoration and-or give rise to an expectation around greenway provision that was not supported by the members in terms of policy direction. However, as I said, I did not have any direct discussion with the members on that wording.
