Order of Business. - Budget Statement: Motion.

 

I compliment the Minister for Finance and the Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children, Deputy Tim O'Malley, on their work. Since he took up office, Deputy O'Malley has demonstrated his commitment as one of the political heads of his Department, based on his experience as a member of the Mid-Western Health Board and, subsequently, in the Department of Health and Children. It is important to have people of his calibre and that of the Minister for Finance, Deputy McCreevy, spearheading the drive for revitalisation of provincial areas. Today's announcement is one of the most significant developments in any budget over the past ten or 15 years. I compliment both the Minister for Finance, Deputy McCreevy, and the Minister of State, Deputy Tim O'Malley, on the work they are doing. I hope the whole scheme of relocation will be expedited, consolidated and undertaken as expeditiously as possible.
