Ms Fiona Quinn:

The question on Rebuilding Ireland targets and outcomes is a big one. There has been huge exponential delivery in the years since Rebuilding Ireland was introduced. This year has caused some challenges with regard to Covid and there was some slowdown in the earlier part of the year. The Department is absolutely committed to trying to deliver, and between now and the end of 2021 will be important. From the point of view of what targets we will set ourselves for the future, the programme for Government will be very instructive in this respect. The committee received regular updates on Rebuilding Ireland throughout the lifetime of the previous Government and this is something it will absolutely be able to request this time also.
