Mr. Valdis Dombrovskis:

On this issue perhaps Senator Conway-Walsh will also ask the representatives of the Commission here in Dublin to comment in more detail. As regards TEN projects, it is worth noting that the European Commission has a certain distribution of responsibilities and TEN-T and TEN-E projects are the responsibility of the transport and energy Commissioners so I am not working directly on those areas and I cannot give a qualified comment on it. It is worth noting that we are now also preparing negotiations for the next multi-annual financial framework which will set the EU budget for the next period, post 2020, and that is a good moment also to address issues and new challenges. There are a number of challenges which stem directly from Brexit, also in the case of Ireland in terms of infrastructure. Perhaps Mr. Kiely could add more specific information and explain about projects in Ireland.
