First, because Deputy Stanton missed it, I will say that the Dunkettle interchange is just fabulous. I know the witnesses were interviewed and I could see their pride about that project. Everybody I have spoken to has said it is absolutely wonderful. Staying on the good news sheet, living along the N5, the difficulties that we faced from the Ukrainian war drove the costs crazy and unfortunately Roadbridge could not move ahead with the project. I know from the interactions I have had with the Minister for Finance, Deputy McGrath, the Minister of State, Deputy Chambers, and the Minister for public expenditure, Deputy Donohoe, that TII was very much in favour of that project going ahead and it is costing much more. It acknowledged that. Some of these questions are parochial and relate to my own area.

I understand the witnesses may not be able to answer them this evening but if I get answers via email or whatever, I will be happy.
