Brendan Kenneally (Fianna Fail)

My final point relates to new agencies that are being established. Some of the legislation with which I have been dealing contains proposals to start various new agencies. As a matter of policy, all of these agencies should be located outside Dublin. They are all quite small at present but some of them could become the large semi-State organisations of the future. If we move them out of Dublin now, we will not have to face the difficulty of doing so in 20 or 30 years time. I suggest that they should be moved elsewhere at this stage.

I commend the motion to the House.
