Mr. Cathal Marley:

The national level of the political system is incredibly supportive of what is being done. We saw that even through the price review. The money made available to deliver critical infrastructure will be there. Obviously, we would like more in different places but it will be there. It is also an agile process where, if we get more done, more will be released to us. The commitment is there and there are several task forces set up by the Government that we are involved in and seem to be working incredibly well, from what I am seeing. This should help unlock things. The big focus is on the barriers and how we can unlock them rather than just talk about them. There are particular steps that need to be taken and political support is good at national level. At local level, we need more engagement to get support tighter.
