One fundamental issue concerns the priorities of the current and previous Governments. It is the apparent unwillingness to devote resources to fixing the unglamorous problems, such as putting decent surfaces on all our roads and making basic buildings available for our schoolchildren. The Government is preoccupied with prestige projects such as motorways or other matters in west Dublin to which I will not refer. I associate that kind of preoccupation with the more unsavoury Third World countries, which cannot think through what prosperity should be used for and cannot take decisions that do not have an immediate, spectacular and visible effect. If one fixes all schools to a minimum standard, people will not notice. If one resurfaces all the roads, people will not really notice. However, the building of a spectacular motorway is deemed to be great, although it may not do much good. I am concerned that the Government is engaging in decision-making that prioritises what looks good over what does good.
