Will the Leader arrange for a debate to be held early next week on the Government's decentralisation programme in light of the forthcoming budget and, in particular, the role of decentralisation in the redevelopment of regions throughout the country? It has been a successful campaign and we are looking forward in particular to the decentralisation of the former Land Registry, the Property Registration Authority, to Golf Links Road, Roscommon town, which was agreed last April. It is hoped the contracts have been signed. Permission has not been granted by Roscommon County Council and I call on it to grant it as quickly as possible to ensure we will achieve a major decentralisation of over 250 jobs——
