The proposed Narrow Water bridge project is tremendous, should be welcomed universally and will provide a huge boost for tourism in the region. I note some wonderful statistics have been trotted out here today within one or two hours of the publication of the report on local government by the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Hogan. I too look forward to the debate in early course, whenever the Leader can manage it. Members should not and I am sure will not lose sight of the point that because of all the huge planning errors made throughout the country, it is greatly to be welcomed that the Minister has incorporated all of the recommendations of the Mahon tribunal.
