Thank you, Ms Teehan. There will be time at the end of the meeting. We will get into a second round and we can come back to all those questions. If every member turns up, I need to stick to seven-minute slots; if not everybody turns up, we can have longer.

I will take the fourth slot, which is a Green Party slot. I will set a timer for myself to be fair. I have a question for the NESC. Is there enough integration and collaboration between the Departments with responsibility for transport and housing? There is a budget of €4 billion per annum for development of housing. Do we see commensurate investment in public transport? Is there enough collaboration between those two Departments to give leadership?
