I will go into some of the detail that I have been informed of by the NTA on those three sites. First, in regard to the N6 at junction 19, a 550-space site, the site selection process has led to two emerging site options at this junction. It looks now likely that a compulsory purchase order may be required irrespective of which site is selected. Following a finalisation of the site selection process, which is expected in the next two months, the park and ride development office will commence design on the selected site with a view to preparing planning consent and the compulsory purchase order documentation later this year to be delivered, subject to planning consent, and works to start building next year. Second, on the N6, because of the approach including a roundabout, there will be a need for bus priority in the westbound direction, probably in the form of hard-shoulder bus-running, and provision for that bus priority will be critical for the project to be able to be developed. In relation to site 2, at the N83 at Claregalway, of 320 spaces, two possible site locations have been identified. Discussions with the relevant landowners are about to commence to see whether those sites could be acquired by agreement rather than compulsory purchase order.
