Yes. I have met the NTA and the local authorities on several occasions. We have provided ongoing support and additional staff positions. What I am saying very specifically to the NTA is that the skills it has built up in Dublin, especially on the BusConnects design system, need to be transferred now or it needs to ensure those skills can help us in Cork and elsewhere.

On metropolitan rail, I think Irish Rail has it in hand. It will manage that. I do not see resources being a restriction at all. We have NTA officials based in Cork.
