Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy. It was an interesting point he made because we all share, across the political divide in here, an understanding of the value of the sorts of projects that he mentioned. I argue that we have put a lot of support in in recent years but the points the Deputy made are valid, and I will certainly ask the Department to consider them in advance of any new government coming to office.
