Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Public Consultation on the National Development Plan: Department of Transport

Mr. Kenneth Spratt:

We have sent in our submission at this stage to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, but there are two elements projects that are being considered need to go through. The first is either the SIFLT or the NIFTI, that is, the investment framework. The second is the detailed emissions modelling. We need to understand what the emissions impacts are of projects. Another piece of work that we will have to do, by the way, is demand management, that is, the kinds of things we can do to reduce demand. I guess we have been trying and not succeeding - my apologies for that - to emphasise that all of these projects will be put through one of those frameworks. If it is the case that the NIFTI continues through to public consultation, gets signed off on by Government and gets published, that would be the framework that is in place. That is the framework-----
