Decentralisation Programme: Statements.

 

The Minister said that decentralisation should be used as an economic torch, shining light into areas that have not prospered in recent years – the programme should focus on towns that have not benefited significantly from the recent boom. I welcome that. Before the last election, the Taoiseach said that towns such as Boyle would not be forgotten. All we want is about 100 jobs to ensure the survival of Boyle. We have promised a free site in which to locate a decentralised Department or agency. I will thank the Government if it delivers on its promises for Boyle, but I will confront it if it does not.
