Mr. Robert Watt:

The Deputy is right that there is no funding at present but we will engage with the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform, Deputy Donohoe, and the Minister. We will discuss this in that context.

I share the Deputy's frustration around the timeframe issue. This week, the Government made changes to elements of the public spending code that did not get too much publicity. That project is under €200 million and will have a streamlined approach. That should take significant time out of the planning and appraisal-----
