I call on the Minister of State to indicate that Ballinasloe will become a focus for investment again if the Government and the Ministers responsible take the initiative to make one very important decision, namely, to designate the town and its hinterland for tax incentives in the future. Some years ago, the Minister for Finance, Deputy McCreevy, designated the upper Shannon region and the response has been very positive. It turned around a very gloomy situation. The Minister of State will be aware that Ballinasloe is now in a gloomy situation and, therefore, I ask him to give a commitment to the people of the town that tax incentives will be put in place so that investment can return to the area. The environment is right in every sense and the people will be supportive.
