Joe Neville (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister for joining us. Obviously, the reason he is here is that infrastructure is the key national focus. We can talk about housing and, fundamentally, housing is where we want to get to, but ultimately we need the underlying infrastructure behind that. That is why this new committee has been set up. Obviously, that is why the Minister joined us previously, and why he is joining us again. We will probably continue to see the Minister subsequently.

Something I talked of off-camera is what we want to get out of this committee and how we can best work with the Minister and have a timely set of actions and tasks and, ultimately, timelines on how we deliver them. I noted some of that was alluded to in the Minister's opening statement. I have a set of questions based on the Minister's statement so that I can get a bit of extra background, and then I can use that afterwards.

On the infrastructure division that the Minister alluded to, how many people are on that team?
