I am happy to clarify what I have already stated and what the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Donohoe has relayed to me. The purpose of the recent second consultation is three-fold: first, to update the public on works carried out to date; second, to obtain input from the public on any significant constraints that have been identified and impacts they may have on the proposals; and third, to give the public an opportunity to propose further alternative options which had not previously been considered.
