- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Alan Kelly: I am trying to get a sense of the scale.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Alan Kelly: What I am trying to get to is how TII quantifies these.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Alan Kelly: I know that. Mr. Nolan need not worry about it.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Alan Kelly: I am trying to get a feel for the ancillary costs that build up for TII, and how these hit us and the taxpayer, to quantify the amounts that are almost lost as a result of all these multiple challenges, but Mr. Nolan cannot really quantify them.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Alan Kelly: Is that how TII does the calculation?
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Alan Kelly: I have an exercise for Mr. Nolan. Would he submit to the committee a table containing a breakdown of those costs, by year and by project, since TII's inception up until this year so that we can have a look at them? This is for public record. I would presume that those figures are quite high. There is no issue. TII has to go through a legal process. I understand all of that. I merely...

Alan Kelly: Sorry, the 2016-21 plan.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Alan Kelly: Are all the projects that were identified as part of that national road plan? There is no project that was listed as part of the Government plan missing off that.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Alan Kelly: So there is not.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Alan Kelly: Correct.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Alan Kelly: The Chairman is actually taking my next sentence.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Alan Kelly: The Chairman is after doing it for me. Mr. Mullaney might elaborate there.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Alan Kelly: I was in Athy yesterday. The relief road is needed.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Alan Kelly: For clarity, I presume these projects are all at different stages of progress.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Alan Kelly: Some will be progressing well, while others will still be at the planning stage, etc. The reason I asked Mr. Nolan the question was that there was a schedule of projects and some of them are not listed here because they are funded directly by the Department. To be straight about this, I have taken a particular interest in the Shannon crossing at Killaloe throughout my 42 years on this earth...
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Alan Kelly: I saw that list. As Mr. Mullaney outlined, there are other projects being progressed that are not part of the process - they are separate. That clarifies the matter. The capital plans are currently under review and will be announced in the next month or thereabouts. I presume TII does a large amount of work on the prioritisation of projects and shares this work with the Government.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Alan Kelly: It is shared with the Department and Government.
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Alan Kelly: The full list of projects in progress is provided here. We now know there is a smaller list of different projects with the Department, which is fine. With regard to the capital plan, which will be announced in one month's time, I presume TII has done a cost-benefit analysis, like those we have discussed previously in respect of past projects, and a list of projects, in tabular form, has...
- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2016 (12 Oct 2017)
Alan Kelly: I understand that and that is all good. I ask Mr. Nolan to do the following for the committee. The capital plan will be launched in one month's time - November is the date we have been given. Clearly TII receives sensitive information and I am not asking it to provide information it gives the Government. Will Mr. Nolan provide the committee with the criteria and weightings used for these...
