I share Mr. Coffey's concerns, including on the motorway programme. The motorway programme was always going to involve a massive over-investment. We were building motorways with a capacity of 80,000 vehicles per day when we knew we would never have more than 5,000 to 10,000 on them per day. I was always bewildered by how the Department of Finance could throw money at that. My concern is sharpened by how the main part of our new national planning framework apparently involves more inter-urban motorways. IBEC's main job seems to be to get more PPP projects for more motorways. That was its submission on the national planning framework. It was a matter of more motorways everywhere. Does the council share my concern regarding PPPs?
