Martin Conway (Fine Gael)

I, like others, would like a national audit or national inventory on the lands and buildings on which the State has long-term leases and which it has bought for the decentralisation project. I agree that decentralisation has, to a large extent, worked very well. Many counties in rural Ireland benefited significantly from decentralisation but it did not work following that famous budget. The following day there were posters all over County Offaly stating "Parlon country" and "Parlon delivers".
