I call on the Minister for Finance to come into the House to debate the criteria which will determine locations for decentralisation. Will the BMW region get priority this time around? Will the recent census of population be taken into account when locations are being decided?

We also need an urgent debate on better crime prevention measures. People are very fearful in their homes and businesses and, indeed, on our streets. There is an urgent need for a crime prevention programme to be put in place. I request that the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform come to the House to discuss that issue.
