Mr. Graham Doyle:

Our focus around the national development plan was to get as much investment into transport as we could. We spent a lot of time working very closely with our colleagues across Departments around this. I think the outcome from the transport perspective was a very strong one in term of much-needed investment for all kinds of reasons, economic and specifically around climate change. We have prioritised heavily shifting investment into public transport but we do have a road network of 100,000 km of roads in the country that must be maintained. It is really important that our economy remains strong in order to pay for the types of investment that the Deputy raises. That is a critical part. Our focus to date has been very much on trying to get investment into the key public transport projects that we are trying to deliver.
