National Development Plan: Motion [Private Members] (11 Jun 2019)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I will be very brief. As the Minister is probably aware, I never agreed with the approach taken in the national development plan.

Éamon Ó Cuív: Cuireann sé áthas orm deis a bheith agam cúpla focal a rá faoin ábhar seo. The first comment I will make in the short time I have is that it was a fundamental mistake not to have a senior Minister at the table.
