Mr. Ken Spratt:

Regarding roads funding specifically, we have processes in terms of new roads whereby TII comes up with its proposals based on the funding it has available. We consider those and engage with TII on those but, ultimately, given all the priorities, it is a matter for TII to come up with its budget allocations for specific projects on an annual basis. While we would have considerable engagement with TII on new road projects and we would feed into the mix concerns on the part of local authorities and objectives they want to meet, based on the funding we have available, there is a prioritisation process that has to be gone through.
