I want to ask the Minister about public private partnerships, PPPs. Specifically, what is the cost to the Exchequer of all planned PPPs for the coming period? Has he given any thought, or paid any attention, to the plethora of research that has been carried out into whether it ultimately costs the State more to fund projects in this way than through other models? Will he, please, make a statement on the matter?
