In its evaluation, the ESRI makes a number of recommendations which relate to different areas of ministerial responsibility. They are mostly matters for those Ministers, some of whom have commented on them. I will, however, briefly comment on aspects of the recommendations in the key area of transport. The evaluators question the level of specification for some of the key inter-urban routes and the appropriateness of toll-based private financing for some of these routes. There is some validity in the ESRI arguments as regards specification but it is my view that we should look at the investment on the major road routes in terms of the return over the long term. We must avoid regularly upgrading the same stretches of roads as traffic volumes increase. We have seen how toll-based private funding has delivered on the Dublin-Belfast road and what it will deliver via the Kilcock-Kinnegad project. There is potential to roll out much of the rest of the upgrade of the key routes between Dublin and the other gateway cities designated in the national spatial strategy in the same way.
