The population of Waterford is 2.5% of the national population and the population of the south east is approximately 10%. The capital expenditure in the programme for Government is approximately €45 billion, as far as I can make it out. That suggests Waterford should see €1 billion, pro rata, and the south east should see €4.4 billion. Will the Minister go back to his Cabinet colleagues and ask them where that is in evidence? It is not in evidence.

With regard to IBM, the Minister referred to 800 jobs. That is the amount being discussed.
