Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I will work with Deputy Flaherty and all of our Oireachtas colleagues from Longford to ensure that this happens. In addition to that, the urban regeneration and development fund, URDF, investment of €10.4 million in the Camlin Quarter in Longford town, the rural regeneration development fund, RRDF, investment of €1.1 million in Granard, along with the investments in Ballymahon through the very successful Center Parcs project, demonstrate a whole-of-county approach that is essential for attracting FDI.

In recent weeks we have also engaged with the chair of the Midlands Regional Enterprise Plan on its work. I look forward to working with Deputy Flaherty on the implementation of that plan as well.
