Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy has raised a very important issue and we will be very positive in this respect. I do not like pre-empting the Ministers for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform, and Finance but just transition is very important for the midlands and Longford County Council and others.

Deputy Flaherty has taken a huge interest in this and I would like to think we will be in a position to meet that commitment next year.
