Peter Burke (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I wish to ask the Minister for the Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs to outline the status of the actions that have been progressed by her Department under the Action Plan for Rural Development and if she will make a statement on the matter. I was very grateful that the plan was launched in Ballymahon in my constituency, Longford-Westmeath. To have the Taoiseach, the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, and the Minister of State, Deputy Kyne, there was a significant display of confidence in rural Ireland.
