Mr. Peter Walsh:

I might go back a little bit. The Deputy said that we are in contact with An Bord Pleanála. We are not. The reason we are not is that we are always anxious to ensure we are not seen to be interfering with the planning process in any way. We are not allowed to engage with An Bord Pleanála when a project is live with it.

We have had contact during pre-qualification for a couple of our own projects but we have not had that of late. I will not talk about MetroLink but it is the one that is currently with An Bord Pleanála and the oral hearing is starting on Monday. It was submitted in September 2022, so members can judge themselves how quickly things are being turned around.
