From what the NTA has told me, the Grand Canal greenway, which will run through Sallins with a spur to Naas, forms part of the town network map that has been developed for the Naas area between the NTA and Kildare County Council. With the funding that is available, I am trying to progress projects like that. As the Minister of State, Deputy Ring, said in response to an earlier question, we face a real challenge because there is now massive demand for greenways across the country following the success of a certain number of greenways. We are trying to help with the design of those projects. At a point in the future, when they are designed the way they need to be designed in order to be high quality cycle networks, hopefully, we will be in a position to do things like that on a phased basis.
