Cathal Crowe (Clare, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I congratulate the Minister on how she is leading her Department. She is doing a great job. She has been to County Clare many times and she has been a good friend to the county by providing plenty of funding. In particular, I am delighted to see our digital hubs now enabling people to work in high-tech, smart and pharmaceutical companies in Dublin, but be domiciled in County Clare. They can nip down to the local village to work remotely and be connected to a global market and global network of colleagues.

I would love Fianna Fáil to have taken on the Ministry for Rural and Community Development. We should have had it. However, Deputy Humphreys is in the job and is doing a good job. Her colleagues are laughing but perhaps it is something that should be up for discussion.
