As soon as An Bord Pleanála makes a decision - a matter with which I do not wish to interfere - if we are ready to proceed with the scheme, then I would be delighted to meet the Senator and update her on the timeline for getting these works in place. We are very committed to this. We want to see it happening. It has been a long time in the offing. We have set aside the funding and there is a political and official will from Galway County Council and the OPW to make it happen. This matter is a priority for us.
