Charlie O'Connor (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)

-----I look forward to the time when that will happen in Tallaght as well, because we need jobs.

I was glad that the Minister, Deputy Batt O'Keeffe visited the institute of technology recently in Tallaght to turn the sod for a new centre of applied science for health. My good friend and colleague, Deputy Conor Lenihan, will share the view I expressed to the Minister, that it is important to impress on him not only the negatives as regards job creation needs but also the positives that I have already listed.

I know that everyone in the House, particular on the Fianna Fáil benches, will mention the needs of their communities, and I am not afraid to speak up for Dublin South-West. I shall continue to do that and it is important that I should look for the support of Government in that regard. I want to briefly mention the Point.
