I have a couple of questions. I want to acknowledge Mr. Barry's huge knowledge, broad range of talents and his capacity to do the job that he has been asked to do. I am concerned about the future, as he is. The national planning framework for 2040 is hugely important, particularly with regard to investment and transport infrastructure. I understand that Mr. Barry's role includes strategic planning for the greater Dublin area, but he also has a definitive role with regard to regional planning. How do we work on that? Mr. Barry's voice is important. My view is that we will make huge investments in infrastructure shortly that will continue to 2040. Has Mr. Barry views on that?
