Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

Tá brón orm, Deputy O'Shea.

I wish to reply to a number of issues raised by the Minister. I did not raise any issue as this is the first time to speak on this amendment. I accept the Minister's assurances that Galway West will not accept any beneficial treatment from this fund while he is the incumbent in his ministerial office. From what I am aware of his dealings in regard to CLÁR and a host of other programmes, including the RAPID programme, under his remit, I find no fault on his part in terms of integrity.
