Mr. Conor Skehan was interviewed last week on the radio as chairman of the Housing Agency. He said the greater Dublin area now runs in an arc from Dundalk to Athlone to Kilkenny. That is the impact of the economy of the Dublin region. However, as the Minister knows, in my part of the country - in western counties like Mayo, Roscommon, Galway, Leitrim and Sligo - we have not seen the impact. Knock Airport can be a key driver to bringing investment into the region. I want to know what plans the Government has to bring new investment into that project.
