Figure ten in the presentation illustrates the kilometres of lanes under construction. This would make a person cry. We will be building fewer kilometres of road in 2025 than we are building at the moment. We are told that the country is going to recover and there will be capital available and infrastructure available. There are grand plans for the M50, a Luas line to Lucan and a Luas line to Poolbeg but, in terms of the projected plans, we will be building fewer kilometres of road in 2025 than we are at the moment. We are building a lot less now than we were in 2008 or 2009.
