The Government is a blue chip employer in that there is none of the concerns associated with other industries such as whether they will last through times of international economic downturn. That fact will provide the catalyst for sustainable development, give life to many struggling towns and assist with their growth potential. However, it is important that we get the correct sized agency or departmental office for individual towns. Senator Daly has pointed out that some medium-sized towns can handle much greater numbers than many of us would suggest. For example, people argued that the construction of Moneypoint would put a major strain on the surrounding area. However, during construction there were some 2,000 workers and the town managed to cater for them excellently. There continues to be a large level of employment and the surrounding towns and villages have succeeded in growing and developing to meet their needs.
