Mr. Hugh Creegan:
I will be brief. In our dealings with local authority officials around the allocations, there is a process we go through and it is fair to say that we occasionally, but not regularly, flag up things like projects that are more appropriate to TII's funding stream for greenways or projects that are far bigger than just a cycle track and are more appropriate for the regional roads grant scheme. We direct in such cases but, to be honest, that is on an occasional basis rather than as a consistent policy.
