All transport infrastructure projects identified for development under the National Development Plan are proceeding. A number of road and public transport projects have already been completed, others will be completed on or ahead of schedule this year and many more are under construction or at planning. The implementing State agencies have indicated to my Department that there is a general downward trend, in the cost of land purchases and procurement tenders in recent times.
