Brian Hayes (Dublin South West, Fine Gael)

As the Minister of State is aware, his late father, even in the most difficult of times and much to his credit, managed to push through development projects that were needed in this city and elsewhere. I put it to him that what is required is a Government commitment to allow the strategic development zone plan to proceed. I understand that a very quick form of planning applies in this regard and that, as a consequence, matters cannot proceed until the Government makes its decision.
