I welcome that the Minister spoke about the national investment framework for transport in Ireland, NIFTI, in his speech. It will now go to public consultation. The strategic framework for investment in land transport is Government policy approved by Cabinet. We got a letter from the Minister's Secretary General, Mr. Ken Spratt, who appeared before us recently, stating that the Minister has approved that it will go out to public consultation by the end of March and that it will be an eight week consultation period. Will it be approved by Cabinet prior to the finalisation of the NDP and in line with the strategic framework for investment in land transport, SFILT, process?
