Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

It simply does not care about what happens outside the Pale. This applies across all the yardsticks. In education, for example, I met representatives of interest groups in the south-east who raised the need for a university in the region. In fairness to local people in Kilkenny, they have made good inroads with Maynooth university in terms of providing liberal arts degrees. This can be built on with a little vision and commitment, both of which are lacking in this Government.
