I wish to make a clarification, as I have received a note from my officials, to avoid any trouble or difficulties. NIFTI does not have a specific bearing on investment decisions on projects currently proceeding through the project life cycle. That is the official answer. I was inaccurate and wish to correct the record.

On the points raised by Deputy O'Rourke, I will stand by the belief that we need a fundamental shift in change in our entire transport system towards a measure that promotes active travel, safe routes to schools, and creates compact developments and 15-minute cities. I would not be honest and accurate if I was not upfront in saying that perspective of a radical fundamental change in our transport must happen, particularly in decarbonisation. We need to reduce the volume of traffic by approximately 25% if we are to meet out climate targets. Every decision and action taken by the Government has to be informed by that urgent need for a change in the way we do things, and that is what I bring.
