It certainly is a wonderful beach. It is a real gem in west Cork. I am happy to work with Deputy O'Sullivan and the elected members of Cork County Council to advance the project because it would be hugely exciting if we were in a position to develop a safe pedestrian and cycling access between Clonakilty and Inchydoney.

The returns that are made by local authorities are available, so we will get access to the records. It is important that everyone is held accountable for their use or non-use of public money, as the case may be. As I said at the outset, this is a tremendous opportunity provided through the funding available under the NDP and it is important that local authorities all over Ireland make maximum use of it.
