I take on board that point the Deputy has made there. Given the number of projects that are under way in Donegal, it does appear the county should get a bit more reference in the publication to which the Deputy has referred. As he knows, the minute you start naming one county, it poses difficulties for other counties that are not mentioned. It is very difficult to please everybody all the time in the drafting of reports. I imagine that is the reason care is taken in referencing individual counties.

I hope the answer I have given to the Deputy is evidence of the number of projects that are under way that are being funded by the national development plan in the various communities he represents. The Government continues to remain committed to the development of the A5 project. I know that, in very general terms, the Government will shortly be considering proposals we can make that will support the really positive news regarding the reconstitution of the Good Friday institutions. We will look at how we can continue to support the development of an all-island economy to the particular benefit of the communities the Deputy just referenced. I expect there will be further progress on that soon.
