Matt Carthy (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I will address this to Mr. McCarthy. There is a sense of unfairness about how this has been done in many areas, some of which have already suffered high levels of deprivation and low levels of service. That in turn feeds into the anger that we have seen, which is then manipulated by people who have a very regressive political agenda. From Mr. McCarthy's perspective as Secretary General, working in conjunction with the Minister, what is being done to make sure there is balance?
