Mr. Fergal O'Brien:
I just want to comment on two specifics. In the national planning framework, we will be putting forward many detailed ideas from the business community, focusing on more effective regional development, including in the north west. In the mid-term review for opportunities in the capital investment plan, there is a big opportunity to see some strategic projects delivered for the north west in particular, given the dearth of investment that it has endured in recent years.
