Sinn Féin wrote to the Business Committee last week regarding the Government's submission to the EU recovery fund. Last week, it was announced that the Government was to make its submission to that fund this week, without it having been discussed in the Dáil at any point or at committee level. This involves €853 million, which is significant. We wrote to the Business Committee about this and the Government has agreed to have it discussed next week. Is the Government, therefore, postponing its submission to next week so it can be brought to the Dáil, Members can scrutinise it and proposals can be made? That is a key part of the democratic process.

We have to assess a number of different key questions or big projects. First, we must prioritise housing in a new housing for all strategy, which we must deliver in the coming months. Second, there is a review of the national development plan, which must be done in tandem with the climate action plan. All this is within a very tight timeframe. I believe we should aim to try to get that done before the end of this term. The recovery and resilience facility fits within that, but it is just one of the elements we will have to discuss, debate and sign off on. I welcome that we will have that debate next week. It will show, first, that we are going to make a very green investment, as is requested by the European Commission. It will help address some of the housing crisis issues by providing transport solutions that will be critical for it.

We cannot go into the detail of it now.

I look forward to that debate, but it is only one measure in a series of very important initiatives in the next few months.
