Yes, we are making great progress in this area and the level of investment reflects that. The recruitment of active travel personnel in county councils reflects it as well. I am here because I see an opportunity for Dublin 15 and I want to put every effort into seeing it happen. The Minister of State spoke about the greater Dublin area cycle network. There were errors in it, actually, as part of the greater Dublin area transport strategy and the Liffey Valley greenway was dropped. There were still routes on the map but there were fewer routes than there were in the previous one in 2013. I am very keen that this remains a strategic priority. It does not have to be a separate greenway but should be a spur of this project. It would open up a section of Dublin that is hidden and it could be a world-class, sustainable recreational amenity.
