Mr. Gerard Brady:

I might take three of them and leave three for Mr. Sweeney. First, on the forum on infrastructure with private sector providers, many bodies are providing critical infrastructure for the economy - telecoms being one, healthcare another as well as education and various places - where private companies are doing their provision and funding. The challenge they face, similar to the challenge in the public sector in delivering these projects, is that if the projects are difficult to deliver, means it is harder to attract the capital to deliver those projects in Ireland. If companies are trying to build a telecoms network or a network elsewhere in the country and trying to attract capital in, the delays in planning and consenting affect their’ ability to attract capital into the country and develop those networks. We see that forum as a way to bring together many of the different bodies, semi-States, public sector and the private sector organisations, which are trying to build things in the country to fix some of the problems in terms of process. Whoever is on that forum should be the people who are relevant to building and delivering those projects.
