Decentralisation Programme: Statements.

 

I was very disappointed to see that the 10,000 jobs announced by the Minister for Finance, Deputy McCreevy, were being created little by little, in a drip effect. There was a haemorrhage of jobs to areas with Government Ministers. Jobs went to Deputy O'Donoghue's constituency in Kerry, Deputy McCreevy's constituency in Kildare, Deputy Fahey's constituency in Galway and Deputy Michael Smith's constituency in Tipperary. I am afraid this is a kind of slush fund that will be used for these areas, although the Minister may prove me wrong.
