Michael McCarthy (Labour)

I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Áine Brady, to the House again. She was in the House for the Adjournment debate last week and it was the same order, with Senator Corrigan speaking before I did. It seems like déjÀ vu.

This motion concerns the sewage treatment scheme for Courtmacsherry and Timoleague, two picturesque villages in south-west County Cork, beautifully located between Kinsale and Clonakilty. Courtmacsherry is a very vibrant area with a very vibrant community spirit. It is an area that is pleasant to visit and is very important to tourism in west County Cork and further afield. If the Leas-Chathaoirleach is playing golf in that area he must make sure to call in there at some stage. There is now a Fine Gael county councillor from Courtmacsherry, which would make his visit all the more worthwhile.
