Capital Expenditure Programme
Dail Éireann — 2022-01-20
============================================================

Alan Dillon (FG), Mayo

I appreciate the Minister's commitment and that of the Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe, to deliver this project. I note the announcement on the formation of the major project advisory group last month. I understand that the group's primary role is to ensure strong governance at critical junctures in the context of the delivery of major projects, which is very welcome. I hope that we would operate on the basis of streamlining project timelines for delivery as opposed to adding further delays. I would appreciate the Minister's assurance that we will look seriously at project delivery in a more earnest manner. This matter has certainly highlighted for me the issues relating to project delivery. We do not want to drift into a situation where project timelines are moving at a snail's pace because that would be extremely damaging to public faith in the ability of this Government to deliver such as that to which I refer.
