I know Mr. Sheridan from the CIF wants to come in, but just before that, I wish to advise people present that we announced at the previous meeting that each Department would be announcing its section of the national development plan rather than it all being one big announcement. Each Department will announce it over the coming weeks. Today, the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, has announced the publication of his Department's NDP sectoral capital plan 2026 to 2030. According to its headline, the plan will support investment of over €5.6 billion by the Department in key Government priorities, plus €14 billion by the ESB and EirGrid in Ireland's electricity grid infrastructure. From today on, there will be further announcements coming line Department by line Department over the next couple of weeks. Coincidentally, that capital plan was out today.

Before I go to Senator Stephenson, Mr. Sheridan wanted to say something.
