It is not so much frustration. It is the level of the lack of consideration for the public purse and value for money. The reality is that Mr. Walsh just commented to one of my colleagues that the longer projects are delayed, the more they cost. Whether we are talking about them being in construction phases or not, that is the reality. We have seen it with the N11. What we are calling climate greening is changing rapidly, and every day is a different day and every study is different. There are many incidents of having to undergo new environmental studies which are putting down routes we have already determined as being available. They are no longer available because there is a snail or a bird or just a new environmental study to be carried out. We are just flushing money down the toilet.

I come to the roads budget.
