I will get the ball rolling on that. Eoghan Murphy's book is really important for lots of different reasons, which I will not go into because I will take up the Deputy's time. I will deal with the policy issue the Deputy raised. This Government is certainly aware of the high importance of investment in infrastructure in coming years and the need to get that right in an integrated way across government. That is an important policy point made by that book. That is just to underline, as I have said on a few occasions, the need for all of Government and for me to work closely with the Minister, Deputy Chambers, in his NDP review, where he is aiming to get those strategic decisions right. That is critical. I believe we will get it right and create the environment for higher levels of competitiveness in our economy and more homes being built. It is an important policy issue raised by Eoghan in that book.
