Peter Kelly (Longford-Roscommon, Fianna Fail)

It is factual. If the economy is not successful and we have no money, how can we spend what we have not got? In 2006 funding is needed to finance schemes and all parties in the Dáil seek more money for everything. I have heard no one stating that money does not count. Why does everyone seek more money if there is a better way of proceeding?

I will bring Deputy Durkan on a quick tour of County Longford.
