I refer to two projects that are vital to the future economic development of the region, one of which the Minister mentioned. Will she support and push forward proposals for a technological university in the south east? It has been in the mix for the past number of years but there seems to be a hold up. It is vitally important. The second is the upgrade of the N24 motorway for the south-east region. It would be a huge driver of economic and social activity in the region and it needs to be included in the capital investment programme that will be announced in the near future by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
