I will certainly work with the Deputy on that. I am very familiar with all of the issues in Swords that he mentioned. I am also very much aware of the impact that population growth has had on the existing infrastructure, such as schools, public transport and all the issues he touched on. The projects I have outlined in my answer, particularly from a transport point of view can make a difference to the issues he raised in terms of the future quality of life for the community within Swords. I will certainly work with him to ensure that the projects I mentioned are delivered within the deadlines. I assure him of my commitment to the metro project. While I know it is still some way away, the impact it will have on the communities he represents will be so profound and so significant, it is vital we stick with that project, which, as he knows, I am committed to doing.
