Brian O'Shea (Waterford, Labour)

I thank the Minister for his frankness. To some extent, he shares my scepticism and concerns. Consider the allocation for this year in terms of the initiation of projects. The Minister stated what would be provided would not be affected by the cutback. How much is the shortfall? Can the Minister stand over a statement to the effect that a cutback in resources will not diminish service?
