I thank the Minister for his comprehensive reply. To what extent will the Minister and his Department steer the various communities in a particular direction with a view to achieving results in the shortest possible timeframe? I refer in particular to those communities that suffered during the downturn through emigration, housing shortages and a lack of modern infrastructure. Does the Minister believe he can spearhead a campaign to ensure that the required attention and investment is directed to these areas?
