I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach. I apologise; I had to step out although I was here for the start of the discussion on the tolls and various road projects. I have a couple of questions on the way TII assesses road projects, especially with regard to carbon emissions or maybe reduced demand.

The climate action plan was published in 2023. Has TII reviewed its projects that are at all stages in the public spending code either in feasibility, design, planning or construction and all the different gateways there? Has it carried out an assessment of all those projects on whether they would lead to an increase in emissions or an increase in demand for road use?
