On cross-Border planning with regard to Review to Renew, Mr. Jim Meade from Iarnród Éireann appeared before the committee and spoke about cross-Border planning regarding rail. That seems to be moving on. It is not the timeline I would like to see on it, particularly as regards the Enterprise service between Dublin and Belfast. He spoke about how pricing will also be looked at and that he was dealing with the National Transport Authority, NTA. However, I am also thinking of big cross-Border projects such as the Narrow Water Bridge project and the likes of the A5. It is important that general planning is taken into account. We are an island here. I would appreciate if Mr. Spratt could give an update on that.
