The Cabinet yesterday discussed a ten-year capital investment plan from 2018 to 2027 and the projected 19% population increase to 5.6 million by 2040. I ask the Leader that a discussion be held at the earliest possible date following the summer recess regarding the ten-year capital investment programme. That discussion would be worthwhile and important in terms of considering what direction will be taken over the next five to ten years in particular.

The Cathaoirleach and other Members will no doubt join me in congratulating the former Senator and current European Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, Phil Hogan, who received the grand decoration of honour in gold with sash for services to the Republic of Austria. It is a great honour for him, the House and the country. It is the highest honour that Austria can granted to a person from another country. I congratulate him.
