I congratulate Deputy Michael Ring on his appointment as a senior Minister and look forward to many a joust with him in the coming months in that role. However, as he will be aware, I was underwhelmed when the action plan for rural Ireland was announced and I have not seen evidence of it making any difference on the ground since. There is no point in the Minister giving me information on CLÁR and other schemes because they all predate the action plan. What is new?
