That is welcome. I refer to the report of the Committee on Budgetary Oversight on capital investment. I am sure the Minister is well aware of it as it makes a number of recommendations that he may consider raising at the next opportunity available to him, given where we are and need to get to. It is welcome that there has been an increase in capital spending which we will continue to see increase up to 2025. We are so far behind other progressive economies that any help we can get is welcome.

Since the Minister has not raised those issues, is it something he would consider doing in addition to what he has already raised with the Commission and is hoping to secure?
