Ned O'Sullivan (Fianna Fail)

I cannot speak for Galway and other places but I can speak for Kerry and, if it is only breaking even, the amount of amount of additional tourism revenues it brings to the entire south-west region must be considered. Instead of knocking what was achieved for the rural areas by Fianna Fáil, the Minister should be saving the Cork-Swansea service, on which he is silent. We are all battling at local level to keep the service in operation. I have not heard a word from the Minister, I do not see his support and we do not see any money on the table. He is saying, more or less, that what has been achieved in rural Ireland was null and void. I shudder to think what will be announced this afternoon if that is the thinking that prevails in Government.
