Mr. John McGrane:

Go raibh maith agat, Senator. There is nothing in that with which we would take issue obviously.

We have particular credentials. We have talked about the higher education research sector. My colleague, Mr. Lynam, also leads extraordinary work across both islands, in terms of climate, environment and sustainability issues.

We have to weigh these things up. I do not know of anybody who does not want the A5 to be finally done and built. It would be excellent if we could get on with that project and things like that in a balanced, democratic way. At the end of the day, it is jobs that produce the well-being of communities and without links, there will not be jobs.
