It is all local. I assure the Deputy that the Government will continue to maintain a high level of public capital investment. It will be more than €13 billion next year. I hope, with the support of the House, we will have the new infrastructure, climate and nature fund which will help to ensure that over the years ahead, come what may economically, we will be able to sustain a high level of public capital investment. I look forward to continuing to work with the Deputy on a number of those very important public projects for Carlow.
