If ever a Government deserves to be charged with gross discrimination, bias and abuse of its position, it is this Fianna Fáil-Progressive Democrats coalition. What particularly galled me were the recommendations of the report on the planned expenditure in the BMW region. It stated that spending on water provision, waste management, commerce and communications, seaports and tourism should be decreased. It also stated that spending on microenterprises – there are not many big enterprises in the region – should also decrease. I particularly commend the work done on regional innovation by the IRDs and the Leader programme. However, the review states that spending in this area should decrease. It states that spending should decrease in forestry, a natural resource and an area with huge potential in the west of Ireland, the Border region and the midlands. Spending should also apparently be decreased on fisheries and harbours, and on the Gaeltacht and islands. In the area of agriculture under two headings, general structural improvements and alternative enterprises, it is recommended that spending should decrease.
