Cathal Crowe (FF), Clare

I know the Minister is a cycling enthusiast, so I have a cycling-related question. I love cycling myself.
For the last seven years, the Wild Atlantic Way has been a huge success. It has been a magnet in bringing tourists to our country - pre-Covid, of course. Recently, we have seen beautiful signs being erected in County Clare and the west of Ireland, which read: "EuroVelo 1". It is an 11,000 km long cycleway that goes all the way from Norway to Sagres in Portugal, taking in huge skelps of the west of Ireland, including County Clare. I would love to know how the Minister and her Department propose to promote that beyond the signage to use as a tool to attract tourists into Ireland.
