It is also happening along the Shannon basin. There are housing developments and builders were never busier. The Minister was responsible for the development of Carrick-on-Shannon and the towns of north Roscommon, Leitrim and Longford. That is one of the greatest schemes ever introduced as far as rural Ireland is concerned. Along with the CLÁR programme, that scheme has made a great difference. While the Minister may have difficulties with the EU, I suggest the scheme be extended to the remainder of County Roscommon and some other areas. The Minister's decision to reduce capital gains tax to 20% has made a great difference.
