Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy does not seem to think that is real. In fact, he does not seem to want that kind of investment, despite the fact that reports on the area of data content and storage capacity indicate increases of between 15% and 17% year on year until 2017. That means the extra space in the aforementioned facility will be filled before long not only with equipment but also with people working in the Deputy's constituency.

I suggest he go to Newlands Cross to examine the roadworks underway there. People are working there. That comes about from investment and decisions made in appropriate conditions to put up that kind of money. The same applies on the road south and, next year please God, on the road from Gort to Tuam to shorten travel times and to provide opportunities for people to work. Does the Deputy not think the PPP programme, whereby eight major schools are being built and 1,000 jobs are being created, should be implemented? These are real jobs for craftsmen, block layers, scaffolders, welders and electricians. Does he not think that is a good thing to do?
