Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

It would look, from the Taoiseach's very poor and thinly veiled responses that the prospect for any of the five sites is doubtful. Specifically, as regards the Waterford case it is a matter of more than just one door flying off over the weekend. We have seen the door flying off other interests there in terms of both Waterford and Dungarvan. Is there not within the Taoiseach's gift the wherewithal to be frank with the House rather than this kicking to touch in terms of 2011? Why will he not be honest and frank with the House and tell the Members here that in respect of the so-called targeted 10,000 relocations or decentralisations, the rollout of that project is finished, over and done with?
