I would like the Minister to outline in detail the way in which the Castlebar scheme will operate and be funded. I would also like to know what consequences will face the business community. Design, build and operate schemes are put in place for a 20 to 25 year period. Once the local authority is locked in to a scheme, there is no way out. Given the multi-billion euro investment proposed, it is time the Government told local authority members and Members of the Houses of the Oireachtas how these schemes are to operate. Nobody can tell anyone how a design, build and operate scheme or, for that matter, a public private partnership will work. I hope the Minister of State can outline to the House the way in which they will operate over the next 20 years.
