It will be detrimental to the area if the only response from the Government is to expand the Prisons Service in Ballinasloe. I do not say that in a derogatory way. I say it on the basis that if that is the best than can be done for Ballinasloe in the current crisis, a crisis which has been ongoing for five years and which culminated in the closure of Square D, it is time the Minister of State physically put the boot in and demanded a response for the people of the area. They were neglected with regard to the spatial strategy. It would have been ideal to incorporate the town with Athlone, which is just 15 or 16 miles away, but it was turned down.
