Frank Feighan (Fine Gael)

I have raised the issue of decentralisation on numerous occasions and it was I who requested the debate on it in the House in light of the deception I identified in respect thereof. It is not acceptable that the programme has been reduced from 10,300 to 3,500 places. This is a sad day for democracy and politics and thousands of civil servants have been deceived. Why does the Taoiseach have so many special advisers when all he need do is listen to Senator Leyden?
