The figure that is bandied about for the cost of this primary radar is €300 million. The Minister for Finance, Deputy McGrath, referenced the €176 million capital budget for the Defence Forces in budget 2023 and stated that the Government was going to prioritise the development of our primary radar capability. I understand that, as of March, an initial planning team has been established and market research and a foreign visit has taken place. Can the Tánaiste give any more information on that? I ask him to outline how he sees the process developing through the work of the planning team.
