Over three years ago, the Minister for Finance, Deputy McCreevy, announced that decentralisation involving over 10,000 jobs would be introduced into areas that had not previously benefited from it. So far, however, nothing has happened. Towns throughout the country are waiting for and urgently require such decentralisation to take place. I call on the Leader to have an urgent debate on the lack of decentralisation.
