Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Business of Joint Committee (25 Jun 2025)

Seán Fleming: Absolutely. I propose to return this correspondence and ask for a breakdown of when they were considered and when they went to tender, planning and construction.

Seán Fleming: We looked at the structure of the report so far. There will be a formal introduction.
