Not everybody wants to live in a metropolitan area. Culchies like me want to live where they grew up. It is our heritage and culture. Ms Curley knows from me being on the council that I am always going on about the county. It is where I represent and where I want to see infrastructure and funding provided. I am a proud culchie and have no problem in saying it. People like me from the counties would like to see more infrastructure so that we can rebuild our counties, which would then support the metropolitan areas.
