I raise the issue of the national planning framework and Project Ireland 2040. The Government will be aware that there is massive interest in Waterford in regard to the planned north quays development. There have been calls from some quarters in this Chamber for Project 2040 to be scrapped. While it should always be reviewed and we have to prioritise what is important, this development is massively important for Waterford. A tranche of funding was made available late last year and a second tranche of funding due in February was postponed until May. We are now well into June. When will an announcement issue on the next tranche of funding and will Waterford receive significant investment for this much needed development?
