The Deputy says "potato", I say "potahto"; he says "half-empty", I say "half-full". There has been phenomenal investment in roads and infrastructure in the south east, and not just in the motorway all the way to Waterford. There is the New Ross bypass, and the N11 bypassing Gorey and going all the way through to Wexford. The largest bridge in the country is part of the New Ross bypass. Enniscorthy has been done too. There has been a massive investment of hundreds of millions in Rosslare Port and a big investment in Waterford Port, which we talked about earlier with the Glanbia plant. There is also a new university for the south east. I am an optimist about the region.
