Jack Chambers (FF), Dublin West

First, the cross-cutting work of the infrastructure division and the task force is to cut through some of the processes in place in every Department which affect delivery of infrastructure - economic or social. Second, there is a review of the national development plan. That is a bilateral engagement involving all Ministers on what their priorities will be for the next number of years. Obviously, there will be an additional envelope available and work has commenced on that. I have been meeting Ministers bilaterally to discuss what their priorities are and what is deliverable over the next number of years around capital allocations. The Department of Children, Disability and Equality have put forward a variety of prospective priorities when it comes to children, disability and equality and we are working through those on a whole-of-government level. We will be able to set out the allocations for those in July.
