Decentralisation Programme: Statements.
We should remind ourselves of the history. One of the most successful pieces that no one thinks of as decentralisation is the Garda Training College, Templemore. It represents an outstandingly successful and major piece of decentralisation which is admired well beyond the country. There was a programme of decentralisation in 1981 which, following a series of Government changes, was cancelled by the Fine Gael-Labour Party coalition. It was reinstated in 1982 and then cancelled again.
