Mr. Ken Spratt:
We will be setting out any project over €200 million that will be in construction by 2030. We will be setting that out. We will also be giving some certainty over the course of each of those years. I think that when the sectoral plan is published, it will be welcomed by the construction companies that the Deputy has mentioned because it will give them the certainty that is required to plan for their staffing and other resources.
I should add that we still have an annual budget and when it comes to multiannual funding, it is very rare that this is given. This why the NDP is published. While we do not have a commitment to have the funding, we do have to set out the funding the Government intends to allocate to us over the course of 2027 onwards. We know what we are getting for 2026 already because we have been through the budget.
