It is a different sheet I read from, compared to the opening statement I was given by the Department. I will take the points from the opening statement I was given. The Senator will appreciate I am not in the Department of Transport and am doing my best to try to disseminate the information to him.
As a ten-year plan, the NDP was scheduled for review in 2022. The Government has brought forward that review by a year and the NTA is working closely with Meath County Council to undertake a comprehensive assessment of the benefits of the product. There is a second round of public consultations in September and a revised strategy ready for approval and publication in mid-2022. I will bring the Senator's comments back to the Department of Transport.
