The people of Counties Longford and Roscommon are devastated at the news that the Cardinal Health project is to be deferred for at least two years, despite the Tánaiste and officials from Cardinal Health reaffirming their commitment on several occasions during the past two years that the project was on schedule for a planning application in 2002. We were reassured several times during the election campaign by Deputy Sexton, both in campaign literature and in press statements, that the project was delivered. On the night of Deputy Sexton's election the Tánaiste was satisfied the Cardinal Health project had delivered a Longford seat to the Progressive Democrats.
