View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 222 and 223 together.
The draft National Planning Framework which is the subject of public consultation at present looks at planning policy over the time horizon to 2040. Once the Framework is finalised, it is envisaged that the proposed 10 year investment plan will set out the projects/programmes which can be undertaken over the next capital planning period. In the interim, the extra allocations being made available as a result of the Capital Plan Review will allow TII to re-activate preparatory work on a pipeline of future upgrade projects.
