Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

Last night "Prime Time Investigates" presented a sad, serious and hopeless situation in certain estates in Limerick. Will the Leader arrange a debate on the Limerick regeneration project? Judging from last night's programme, it seems all of the investment has been made in vain. No one gave the other side of the argument. The Minister responsible must explain the position on the regeneration of Limerick city. It was tragic and appalling to see what had happened to some of the estates, some of which are no-go areas. I had never seen anything like it before. It is hard to believe it is happening in our own country. I commend "Prime Time Investigates" and want the Government and the Ministers responsible to explain where the money has gone so far in the regeneration project and what has been achieved. This House has a role to play and I hope it will have one in the future.
