The development of this site and this divisional headquarters will be crucial to the faith local people will have in agencies of the State. A lot of them feel let down. The Minister mentioned there are two local authorities. There is any amount of campaigning that consistently goes on for basic provision of community infrastructure in the wider area of Clongriffin, Belmayne and Parkside. We are not serving them well if these things are not seen to be provided in a swift manner. I appreciate the support of Government. I do not get anything negative from the Minister's answer. The process has to be gone through. The Minister can appreciate that if you live there, have invested in that area or community or you took that risk to start something afresh with your family, you need the people in power to step up and provide the basic provisions that will provide security for your family and community.
