Malcolm Byrne: I too look forward to the publication of the national development plan in the coming weeks and to the significant investment we will see in infrastructure. The challenge, of course, relates to delivery. Our problem with certain State agencies is what I can only describe as a "Bulmers" approach to delivery - nothing added but time. Some of our delivery has been particularly poor. I would...

Malcolm Byrne: Like others, I thank the Ministers of State for being here for this very important debate and discussion.
