I welcome the response. I am making the point that Project Ireland 2040 assumed that we were all happy members of the EU but that might change. I give the example of the Dunkettle interchange that is being upgraded at the Jack Lynch tunnel.

It is already six months behind schedule. When there is the potential for a no-deal Brexit, we should be bringing it ahead of schedule by six months.

I refer also to the N28, the road linking the South Ring Road in Cork city with Ringaskiddy, thereby connecting a major industrial estate with the Port of Cork. Will the Minister's Department have to review its delivery programme for major projects in the event that there is a no-deal Brexit?
