Mr. John Conlon:

There are two way of looking at that. We have been building up the IGEES for quite a number of years. I do not have numbers with me but we can show the Deputy how that has evolved over the years in a separate note.

With regard to the broader capacity, not just in my Department but in the Departments that are involved in much of the major project delivery, we have written to all Departments to get their views on the capacity they have to deliver on these national development plan, NDP, priorities. We feel that them having that capacity is important in project management and project delivery. We are going through some of their responses at the moment and we are going to do an evaluation of those responses to ensure that we can, insofar as possible, augment that capacity throughout the key Departments, in particular, that are delivering on a range of these infrastructure projects.
