I thank the Minister for his comprehensive answer. I suppose that when we are talking about capital investment and projects such as this one it might be helpful to publish figures upfront for the various metropolitan areas or large urban areas outside the greater Dublin area. The Minister will be aware of the number of times people like him and me, who live in the capital, are accused of ensuring that the capital is well-looked-after while the rest of the country is forgotten. When the plan is published, if the details for each of the cities and counties were published at the same time, it might move the focus away from that type of accusation.

I thank the Minister for his time and for the answer he has given me today.
