How can a national development plan and key projects be delivered if they cannot even respond to an Oireachtas committee request for straightforward information? We said the last day, and I will put it on the record, that we would give every organisation a fortnight to respond because sometimes the list of questions submitted is even longer than what was asked at the meeting. I said a fortnight, and if they could give us 90% of the information, give the 90% with the 10% to follow.

However, it looks as if they are waiting until they have 100% of the information before we get anything. The pace at which responses have been given to this committee in public session by everybody who has been before us has been a disgrace. It is unacceptable.
