John O'Mahony (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I understand it is in circulation and I have seen it. The list does not include priority areas in Mayo, Roscommon, Sligo, Kerry, Longford, Leitrim, Offaly or Waterford. Is the Minister aware that there is a perception that this is a priority list for the east of the country, as well as for his own area, County Cork? There are approximately four priority areas in the west, which include Ennis in County Clare, Galway and Letterkenny. Does the omission of counties from the list of priority areas mean there are no developing areas in those counties?
