Last February, it was confirmed to me by the Minister with responsibility for housing that Cork City Council was considering a regeneration park for the Tarry Path in Mayfield. In December, it was confirmed to me that there has been no update on this. The Mayfield area is in desperate need of regeneration. We have heard today about the impact on people of mould and damp in Oliver Bond House in Dublin. The same is true in Cork in areas such as Mayfield, Knocknaheeny, Noonan's Road and Baker's Road. They are in desperate need of regeneration. The first time that Knocknaheeny regeneration was mentioned in the Dáil was on 14 February 2002. I do not want to be here in 22 years' time speaking about the regeneration of Mayfield and other areas in the same way I am speaking about Knocknaheeny today. Will the Taoiseach give a commitment and an update to the Dáil regarding the regeneration of Mayfield and the other areas to which I refer?
