But I would imagine it would be very politically unpalatable.

And the results so far that we're seeing in the survey, people don't like it.

At particular points of the day, I don't think it would ever be the price that the Dublin Port Tunnel would be.

But at different times of the day, it would make it so unattractive that people would not take those trips.

But we don't really know why people are taking trips on the M50 right throughout the day.

Are there trips that could move to other modes?

Are there trips that could move off the M50?

We don't know.

And we need much more research to find that out.

Exactly.

It's a legacy.

It was there to pay for a piece of infrastructure that's been paid over multiple times by the people of this country.

And right now, basically, it's been used to supplement repair and upkeep of the motorway network.

And that's exactly why it's there.

It's not something I've seen.

It's something I like the idea of.

I think, you know, any of these types of rail solutions I think are good.

Back in the heyday of the Celtic Tiger, we did have a solution called Metro West, which was to be a west line that was kind of to traverse the M50.

It's kind of, I suppose, that one kind of died in the water and it never got off the ground.

But those types of rail solutions I think are very viable.
