If we then asked the NRA if it would be able to talk to somebody whose concern it was and if we could have the same conversation to build the motorway together, perhaps, we would be told that it could not do that, that the thinking pertaining to both areas was different. Those planning the motorway were two or three years ahead in their research than the others were with their railway line and they could not come together. Thankfully, that has all changed. That conversation has been had and we now plan our infrastructure and using resources together, but it was disgraceful that we could not do it ten or 15 years ago. We have moved on. We need this joined-up thinking across the system and across all the Departments, which is what we are trying to do here with Ireland 2040.

Does Mr. Walsh wish to add anything?
