Mr. T.J. Malone:

Yes. We are happy that we can accelerate the survey and design phases ourselves. They are within our remit. In the previous exchange with my colleague, Mr. Hendrick, committee members asked what they could do to help accelerate the process and so on. There are constraints on us. We must build a network under the existing local authority guidelines. We are engaging all over the country. To be fair, local authorities have, to a person, been fantastic in that engagement. However, we are working on a programme of a scale that has never been seen in the history of the State.
