I agree with the Deputy. The investment in Cork, Galway, Waterford and Limerick is vital. The national planning framework calls for better balanced regional development. Look at each of those cities. In Waterford, we are moving the train station and building a new bridge. In Limerick, we are reopening the Shannon-Foynes line. We have a great deal of work to do in Galway - the Oranmore passing loop and twin tracking.
The project in Cork is probably the biggest example. It was the one that got prioritised funding from the Recovery and Resilience Fund.
