Mr. Niall Gleeson:

It is a very good point. We have budgetary constraints across the system. If we give to one budget, we take from another. We have very good funding, but there is a huge amount of work to do. We can certainly look at some of the ideas the Deputy has raised. The €98 million is a significant figure out of our overall funding and it will address many of those issues. I know people perceive delays in our ability to deliver. Typically, between planning, land acquisition and just developing and tendering, it takes us anywhere between three and five years to develop new infrastructure. That is frustrating for people, but that is the reality we have to deal with.

That needs to be taken into account when we are planning. Mr. O'Donoghue from asset management is here. Does he have any comments on the Senator's points?
