In my own constituency, I would see difficulties with resources and delivery, even at a local level and within the local authorities because housing is dominating most local authorities at the moment. If we have a carryover of projects, Mr. Ó Lionáin’s Department and the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform need to be aware of that. If we build these visitor experiences, people will come to the regions, which is crucial and should be a key priority within the Department. I know that if Fáilte Ireland had the money, it would spend it but there are constraints around construction and project management, which is adding to the mix.
I call Senator Carrigy.
