What the Government published is a plan for towns and villages and particularly towns. My question is when will we have plan for rural Ireland? What RTE reported, no doubt based on briefings from the Minister, is significant. It stated the action plan for rural development contains 270 measures aimed at rejuvenating 600 towns and villages in a three year period, but warned of the fallout for agribusiness. The Minister stated people are needed to revitalise towns. It seems we do not have a plan for rural Ireland. When will we get a plan for rural Ireland?
