On the DART interconnector, I requested some of this information because we need to make sure that, where possible, the work previously done on it is reused. This project is the game changer. I recall Barry Kenny making the point that if it came online, it would ensure there would be up to 100 million journeys per annum. It is the kind of project that requires to be done if are to get to grips with the transport element of our climate obligation. It is an expensive project, but it has a lifespan. We need to make sure that in terms of the work already done money is not wasted.
