Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am pleased that the Deputy has acknowledged the significant investment that has been committed to Clonmel and Thurles as part of the urban regeneration and development fund. I am not sure whether Tipperary town made an application but I know there was no allocation for Tipperary town from either the rural or urban regeneration funds. We would need a proposal to establish a task force. I have not seen any such proposal. If the Deputy wishes to draft one, I will certainly ask the Minister, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, and the Minister of State, Deputy English, to consider it.
