I refer to the programme for Government. In fairness, I do not break the rules. This is in the programme for Government. We are over 20 months into this Government, but very little has happened on regional development. The Taoiseach talks about it the whole time and constantly says it will happen, but it is not happening in our county or many other rural counties. When will we see real jobs coming to the regions? These people have to get up at 4 o'clock and 4.30 in the morning. I know the Taoiseach likes people who get up early in the morning, but if they could get up at 7 o'clock or 8 o'clock, it might be better for them.
