It will go to Cabinet and then be published. I want EVs to be plugged into the process when assessing road projects. If just fossil fuels are assessed, it takes away from the point that we are trying to get to. My views on the M20 are well-known. For me, it is about connectivity. If there are climate change issues, we have to find a way to adopt policies that encourage people to go to electric cars. If our model is just about compact growth but we do not look at regional connectivity, there is an issue. This is a small country. If we were in a much larger country, Limerick, Galway and maybe Cork would be satellites of Dublin in geographic terms. This is a small country and, therefore, we have to have synergy between cities. We must have connectivity for that, including road, rail, bus, active travel and everything else. I hope that is taken on board in NIFTI. Mr. Spratt gets my point.
