Last year, more than €600 million was allocated to the upgrading of roads. I believe it was the Minister, Deputy Ryan, under his transport portfolio who allocated it. That funding was also meant to remediate or upgrade bridges. Did IFI have any engagement on that? If a bridge’s apron or a culvert is problematic for whatever reason, did IFI work with those agencies and suggest to them that modifying the bridges in a particular manner would help fish passage?
