All those projects are welcome and badly wanted. In the update report on Project Ireland 2040 annual report in 2022, Donegal did not receive a mention in terms of progress and how things are going. I think that is worrying in terms of the delivery of these projects. In the 2022 regional report, there were only three mentions of Donegal projects in total. On the projects that are referenced in the report, there are the projects the Minister has mentioned. There is also the Donegal group B sewerage scheme and wastewater treatment plant project, which was actually completed in 2018 but was included in the development report for the 2040 capital programme. There are other projects, including the project following the hospital flooding in Letterkenny, which actually happened in 2013. These projects are included there as well. It is a worrying development. While these projects need to be developed, we need to make sure the projects included in the report are relevant to the time, in operation at the time and not actually completed.

Now that the assembly is up and running again in the North, will the A5 project be developed? How will it be moved on?
