I understand and sympathise with the Senator's obvious impatience, which is perfectly natural in this situation. We need to go through several processes.

I could give her an update on what is happening with active transport projects. I do not intend to read it all into the record. I have a list here which, with the permission of the Cathaoirleach, I will give to the Senator and she can use as she feels is useful. It covers things like: the Dublin Road bus corridor; Parnell Street-Davis Street phase 1, which is active travel obviously; the Catherine Street-Roches Street junction improvements; Parnell Street, Davis Street to Roches Street; the Grove Island roundabout improvement works; Raheen roundabout to Quinn's Cross and Fr. Russell Road; the O'Connell Street upgrade; and the Castletroy greenway.

We can also give her an update on the M20 from Cork to Limerick. I will hand this to the Senator because it would take too much time to read out all the detail. It might be of help to her.I thank her for the contribution she has made to advancing these projects.
