Mr. Bernard Gloster:

I am not going to defend it nor will I dispute what the Deputy is saying. What I can say is that, with the additionality that has been secured for next year, I am certainly favouring positive discrimination in favour of the areas that have the least. I have to work that out with the Minister, Deputy Foley, and the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, but I am not going to defend what the Deputy has described, which is just not right.
