I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Batt O'Keeffe, for his response. As an eternal optimist, I am hopeful favourable consideration will be given to the project in question. The lack of such a service is stultifying development in Rathowen. Given that the village is in the catchment area of a very fine fishing river, it is imperative the imprimatur for the project is extended to Westmeath County Council and the reconsideration of its proposal is effected in a positive and favourable way.
