——thing that needs to happen is the development of this particular area. I am confident the Minister for Finance understands and supports this and will be introducing necessary measures. To do that, we must obtain approval from the EU and I am also confident in that regard. The task force members of the Cork docklands project are fully behind the Government. We need this debate because many misunderstandings are being perpetrated. As someone who has represented the Cork region for the past 16 years, I feel a great deal of emotions, not all of which are positive, but shame is not one of them.
