There has been major investment in the key areas within the regions. Regional development is critical for a number of reasons, not only for the sake of the development of the region concerned but, as Senator Maurice Hayes said, in terms of easing the pressure points of the east coast and, in particular, Dublin. That should be a critical part of the development plan. I do not want to appear parochial but as Senator McDowell has identified, there is a lack of investment in infrastructure in regions such as Clare and the west. That, too, needs to be addressed.
