I gave the Deputy an update on what happens next on that greenway. I will bring his concerns on the other projects or tourism attractions to my officials to link in with Fáilte Ireland. In 2022, networks of clusters along that reimagined Boyne Valley drive were identified. The clusters included Navan, Trim, Slane and Kells. There were sub-clusters aligned to each of these hubs. There were also facilitated workshops last year and an action plan was developed. In quarter 4 last year, each cluster identified an action plan for delivery and some of those plans addressed the issues raised here. These actions now are: the update of the Kells town brochure to provide support for the development of innovative experiences emerging in Kells; the delivery of Slane tear-off maps for distribution to all businesses; supporting the participants at the Púca opening parade in Trim; and industry engagement and activation to support the Navan horse racing weekend in November. The action plans are living documents that will be reviewed annually to ensure actions are prioritised that will lead to greater cohesion to the clusters and to update, develop and support saleable experiences for the domestic and international consumer. I will pass on the Deputy's contribution to my officials to liaise with Fáilte Ireland.
