There is always room for improvement but we delivered the cross-city Luas on time and within budget.

I believe it is possible for us to deliver. We are always looking for ways of improving but the advantage we have at present, in my experience, is that the National Transport Authority, NTA, Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, and Irish Rail are the three big public transport delivery agencies. They work in co-operation and are very professional. I do not see that as the core of our problem. The biggest problems we have had have been political and around planning. We all know the planning system here is subject to incredibly complex legal delays. If reform is needed, it is in that planning system and that is what the Government is doing through the Attorney General's office.
