I will kick off very quickly. On Deputy Durkan's point about the importance of looking after the Single Market, I think we all agree with that on this side of the table.

On the national development plan, trying to ensure that the money available leads to homes and improvements in our capital and economy and all of that happening quicker, we are making efforts to do that. I fully accept that we always need to do better.

On the issue the Deputy raised about inflation and the difficulties within the food service sector, the Government is well aware of the challenges that sector is facing at the moment. It is looking at what steps, if any, can be taken to support business that are dealing with high inflation. I think that is all I can say for now in response to several different matters that were raised by Deputy Durkan.
