Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

With regard to the 2040 consultation, I have already made it publicly clear that this is an opportunity for the Sligo region to put forward its case for inclusion as a growth centre in the consultation currently under way. This is not a case of pitting town against town, as happened before. There are opportunities for every region and Sligo is one of those potentially very major centres, with access in terms of roads to be completed and so on. The fact that the advance factory is almost completed is an advantage for Sligo. I will ask the Minister, Deputy Mitchell O'Connor to give Deputy McLoughlin an indication of the interest being expressed in filling that location with jobs.
