Frank Feighan: I thank Senator Phelan for sharing his time with me. I called for a debate on decentralisation a little over a year ago, and I come from an area which welcomed any kind of decentralisation. I come from Boyle, which was promised decentralisation. We were told not to ask the hard questions and were promised that everything would be fine. Despite a town site for decentralisation being offered...

Frank Feighan: Decentralisation could and should have been a major force for change. I welcome any decentralisation to Carrick-on-Shannon. However, three times the number of jobs being delivered were promised to my constituency. The Minister of State has not delivered on his promise.

Frank Feighan: The people are angry at the contempt the Government has shown for towns and for the entire country. The Minister of State promised 230 jobs to Roscommon. My colleagues and I welcomed those jobs but they will not happen in the lifetime of this Government. They are put back to 2011 and 2012. I do not know. Fine Gael will have to get into power to deliver real jobs for County Roscommon.

Frank Feighan: The Minister of State should instantly sack whatever Sir Humphrey wrote the speech he delivered today. It states: "With this parallel approach, the OPW will be a decentralisation champion." There are no champions emerging from this decentralisation report, only chumps. The people are annoyed. I am annoyed because I took the report as a commitment last December. Fool as I am in opposition, I...
