Mr. David Moloney:

The national development plan for 2021 represented a huge increase in ambition and funding. In the early years of that increase in funding, Departments did struggle to get projects up and running, and did struggle to start spending that, so we had very significant underspends in capital in those early years. Departments are now up and running. They are now spending their capital. It is now really just about putting the systems and processes in place for the higher level of investment within the NDP. We now see considerable demands even within the increased envelope in the NDP and some pushing up against it.
