Mr. William Parnell:

Sure. The point I was making is that I felt the section on rural Ireland in the national planning framework could be strengthened. I know there was a discussion at the meeting of the select committee on 15 November, which again focused heavily on the national planning framework. The Minister himself responded on that and perhaps offered some suggestions as to how the committee might make its views known.

I have to confess that I am not familiar with the situation regarding the TEN-T funding. I will try to establish the situation on that with the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. Deputy Fitzmaurice had a question on our input into the CAP. I will ask Mr. Mulherin if he can answer that question.
