Text

As the Minister knows, there is no consensus around the level of those targets. The best way to provide assurance to business is to deliver projects that the business community wants. It wants to see an investment strategy from the Executive. We cannot have one whilst the road projects are going through the courts and are being shelved. Those targets are costing lives daily, and they are also costing millions of pounds in undelivered projects. When will the Minister wake up to the folly of those targets?
