Ms Maria Graham:

I will speak fast. In terms of Project Ireland 2040, there is a delivery board at national level, which is monitoring the overall national development plan and looking at issues such as the revamping that there has been of the public spending code, a project tracker, any barriers that might be faced, and the national planning framework and how investment is aligning with what the direction should be. I suppose the next phase that we believe is important is to bring that down to the city level. For example, we would have had sector presentations on education, transport, housing and water services. It is really to bring that to the city level, so that if there are particular blockages, they can be looked at in the wider metropolitan area and not only in one authority. That is the concept that we are developing.

We are reviewing the derelict sites - it is within my area - to see if there are any kind of improvements that we can make to the working of the legislation as it is now.
