Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

Will the Minister publish cost-benefit analyses on the projects selected to proceed so that we can have confidence that robust projects are being selected? Will the cost-benefit analysis include some form of independent auditing to ensure we do not end up with the type of rose-tinted analysis often produced by parent Departments and will we have an opportunity to debate these in the House?

Is the national development plan dead in terms of the capital projections committed to when it was published? Are the projections which represented approximately €184 billion overall now gone?
