I hear the nice words, but in cold cash, we are putting in the resources because we have to. If we are going to double the size of Galway, Cork, Limerick and Waterford and deal with the crazy problems Dublin city already has with its present population, we are going to have to put in megabucks. We all admit that Dublin is growing. Therefore it is going to take more and more megabucks. Last year, €200 million was spent just to service a site. Is Dr. Hughes not saying in simple English that the vast bulk of the cash has to go into the towns and cities? Let us call a spade a spade and be blunt about this and stop the sweet talk. Is that not what Dr. Hughes is telling us? If that is the way, then that is his thesis and I am just trying to understand his thesis.
