I thank Mr. McGuinness and hope he will stay involved in the development of the west and rural Ireland because of what he has to offer into the future. We now have a Minister from County Mayo sitting at the Cabinet table and he has to deliver. I am sure Mr. McGuinness has documented all of the promises he has made during the years and it is now time to deliver. We are told that this is one of the richest countries in Europe and that the public finances are in order. It is time for the west to receive its share, but the dire issues and problems that need to be solved in the west have to be acknowledged.
