Mr. Fergal O'Brien:

It is a significant risk. The resources may now start to become available and we may get a great plan but we have a poor track record in terms of delivering key infrastructure projects. We should be benchmarking ourselves much more closely in that regard in an international context because that is what companies are doing. If we take the high profile example of the Apple development in Athenry, companies are doing those benchmarks. They are looking at the time it takes to get decisions, the length of time appeals take and the procedures around objections. Ireland is not scoring well and we are concerned that its international reputation for investment will be tarnished.
