Mr. Spratt said it was important that the money is spent well. Of course, the overall pot of money will be important. Does he have information on that? I read some news reports suggesting that the Department night need to return funding due to how funding works on an annual basis. Is that the case? Are there concerns over whether the Department will be able to use its budget?
There is enormous ambition for transport, from the Minister and the Government. Will the Department and the various State agencies, including the NTA and TII, be fit to deliver on this ambition? Are there plans to expand their capacity and make them fit for purpose?
