Heather Humphreys (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Alison Harvey is chairing the task force for Tipperary. She is doing a good job there and it is important that we let her do that work. I have been down in Tipperary on a number of occasions and the regional enterprise plan has a particular focus on Tipperary town. Funding has been provided from a number of sources to assist that region. It will take a bit of time and we should allow her to continue on with the work she is doing. She will have access to all the different Government funding streams, whether it is the rural regeneration fund, the urban regeneration fund or the regional enterprise development fund.
