John Paul Phelan (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 1:

In page 4, subsection (1), line 32, after "Finance" to insert "and Project Management".

This acknowledges that the problem with the national development plan is not one of funding but of managing the projects. It is with that in mind that I tabled the amendment. Given that the Minister has gone to the trouble of setting up the new agency, he should take into consideration the primary problem in regard to the building of all types of infrastructure, which is the managing of projects rather than funding.
