Chairman:

I have a question of my own. I thank the Minister of State for her presentation. I have a couple of points about it and I will go over and back quickly. In her presentation she said, "With our partners in Transport Infrastructure Ireland and various local authorities, we are progressing a number of major Project Ireland 2040 projects". My colleague, Deputy Carey, made reference to the northern distributor road and the Minister of State said that was ongoing. I would like to hear about where the M20 is at. I know it is in the design stage with TII but I would like an update from the Minister of State on precisely where the M20 is at. She might reply to that because I am going to do a rolling series of questions over and back to use the time to maximum effect.
