All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Mike Devane:
As I understand it, they do. I have never heard any objection. We have gone through that phase.
The problem we have now is that it is about ambition and where people want to go. That is why I gave the numbers on gross value add, GVA. In order to move the dial on GVA and correct the imbalance, we need to make significant investment to create some form of value-add activity, such as large fabrication plants, large biopharma plants and so on. That requires having this backbone with all the utilities prioritised on it so that those utilities can be used.
