Liam Fitzgerald (Fianna Fail)

I welcome the Minister of State to the House. I listened with interest to the last remarks of Senator McDowell who has been very prominent in the area of finance. I was disappointed, notwithstanding the important projects he identified across different sectors, that he did not identify where the funding would come from. I can only assume he is proposing borrowing in these circumstances. Perhaps I am wrong but that is what I must deduce in the absence of evidence to the contrary.
