Mr. John McDonagh:

The piece in the middle is phase 3. On the other end of the string - I am using very simple language - there is the 1 km that goes from Clonfad into Clones Marina. You can traverse and navigate up to Castle Saunderson. There is then the gap of 10 km, and then there is the 1 km that goes into Clones. It is important that I paint that picture rather than have people think they can navigate across them all, because that is not the situation now.
