Dara Calleary: In that context, there is a very interesting document, the Impact of Improvements in the Road Network on the Accessibility and Economic Potential of Counties, Urban Areas, Gateways and Hubs.

Dara Calleary: Is there an understanding within the Department of Transport of how serious PPPs are?
