I thank the Minister for his response. Some of the aspects he mentioned will be noted as achievements by different Ministers over time. We will see them being rehashed as time goes on.

The Minister mentioned additional projects. It is important that the NDP review is taking place at the moment and there should be different projects in it. The Minister mentioned the N56 in his response. The N56 was not closed. It was upgraded in parts, but substantial parts are still in need of upgrading and need to be placed on the national development plan, including the road from Mountcharles to Killybegs, which needs to be upgraded to ensure the access to the port in Killybegs can be utilised and maximised for the benefit of the whole county, especially the south.

I presume PEACE PLUS is an EU funded programme, so the funding coming from the EU will address those issues. I may have some additional points.
