Mr. Hugh Creegan:

I think the Government has said this will be funded out of the Infrastructure, Climate and Nature Fund. That is a big positive in that it means the main Vote given to transport can be utilised on other projects.

On the first part of the Deputy's question on the setting-up of a separate body, there have been a lot of discussions and consideration about the best way to deliver what is the biggest project the country will ever undertake. At the conclusion of that, the decision has been what we saw reported last week, which is that a stand-alone entity whose sole focus is to deliver this and deliver it as efficiently as possible is the way forward.
