Does Mr. McGuinness believe there is a deliberate attempt to sideline rural Ireland? It is not the case that rural Ireland is just forgotten about and is not seen as important. There is a deliberate attempt to sideline rural Ireland and there is a focus, not just coming from any major city in Ireland, but also from further afield, to prevent people living in and setting up businesses in rural Ireland. Is there a deliberate attempt to usher people in to the more urban areas?
