Industrial Development. (11 Oct 2006)

Jerry Cowley: I thank the Minister for his reply. Unfortunately, it is the same reply I got from the Minister in March. He told me then that the county council was talking to the IDA about this site.

Order of Business (11 Oct 2006)

Jerry Cowley: I am talking about the eligibility for public services Bill. I am asking when legislation that ensures these people get treatment will be debated.
