Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

We want to see this done right across the country and that is why the Tánaiste has prioritised within the Department the investment in the regional property programme. I am more than happy to go to Longford to meet Deputy Flaherty and the officials from the local authority. Longford County Council has an excellent chief executive. We trained him well in Mayo before we sent him to Longford. I am happy to work with everyone involved in attracting more investment to the regions.
