I raise the BusConnects project, in particular, a plan in the area where I live to remove a wall between the Malahide Road and Ayrfield estate in Dublin 13. There is a green space behind this wall where children play daily. There are real concerns about the safety of children in the area. Residents have raised their concerns with the NTA as well as elected representatives. The removal of this wall will mean that there is open access into the estate from the Malahide Road, which is one of the busiest roads in Dublin. The proposals make no sense. They are not essential to the plan whatsoever. To be clear, we are not objecting to the BusConnects project. Will the Tánaiste raise this with the NTA in the interest of the safety of the children who live in Ayrfield estate?
