There has been no planning or consultation regarding the decentralisation programme. Before it ever gets off the ground, it has failed. Recently, the Minister for Agriculture and Food, Deputy Walsh, introduced legislation which subsumed An Bord Glas into Bord Bia. I am surprised the Minister of State is so astonished. Up to ten jobs from An Bord Glas were listed by the Minister for Finance, Deputy McCreevy, as going to Enniscorthy. Now we find that An Bord Glas no longer exists.
