What will be the element in the review in respect of the delivery of projects? The Minister mentioned the Luas cross city and the Alexandra Basin projects. We do not have a good record of delivering large-scale infrastructure projects on time and on budget. In the context of what will be a limited capital plan, what extra elements will the Minister introduce to ensure delivery on time, on budget and on a cross-island basis so that it will not just be here in the city but the regions will get a chance to benefit from an infrastructural investment programme arising from this capital review? What weighting will be given not just to regional plans but to communities within the city that are not getting their fair share? A draft report of the inner city group was leaked to the newspapers today which identifies a shortage of community funding. There are capital needs within this city as well that need to be prioritised within this review.
