Barry Cowen (Offaly, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I ask the Minister to consider strongly reverting to the old serviced land scheme that used to be in place under which councils could recoup funding spent on providing infrastructure through local levies. I also ask the Minister to front-load much of the available funding because, in the long run, it is cost-neutral and is badly needed at this time.
