Kieran O'Donnell (Limerick East, Fine Gael)

I wish the Ceann Comhairle well.

Regarding the forthcoming budget and finance Bill, there is no reference to the Limerick regeneration project in the so-called new programme for Government whereas the original programme for Government made specific mention of regeneration projects. Also, there is no mention of it in the report of the jobs task force established by the Tánaiste. Is the Minister still committed to Limerick regeneration? Why was it not included in the new programme for Government? When will it be approved at Cabinet? I understand there is a commitment that it will happen towards the end of this month. The regeneration programme for Limerick is still not formal Government policy-----
