The concern I have, which I referred to, is that projects throughout the State are either being delayed or quietly shelved. Communities that have campaigned and waited for years are being left in the dark wondering why projects they thought were agreed and progressing are now not progressing. The only possible conclusion they can come to is that we have not accounted for inflation. People involved in numerous projects across County Mayo, for example, Castlebar Educate Together, Ballinrobe school and several other schools, thought the deals were done and dusted, but now those projects are being delayed or people are not being given the projects they were promised. The Minister, Deputy Foley, visited Castlebar Educate Together in September 2022 and promised the kids there the school was going to be delivered. All these months later, they are still waiting for a situation whereby a site has even been agreed, despite the fact possible sites were displayed. Things are just not adding up for people in communities. That is a problem.
