-----medical device centres in Europe is in the Galway area, and I have been caught in those jams myself. NUIG has expanded beyond all recognition. It is a university that has actually climbed up the rankings despite many criticisms, but I take the Senator's point. Obviously, we put €900 million into the capital programme for a relief road for Galway. It is difficult to get agreement on these things - environmental, social, people impact and so on like that - but it is a location that is going to be the city of culture for 2020. I think that is going to mean so much for the west of Ireland and be an opportunity for Galway to show its capacity to be recognised as a European city.

On Stráiteis na Gaeilge, we have the new coiste. The draft recommendations will be before it shortly and Senators will be entitled to participate and help us in that regard.

I have mentioned Lansdowne Road, which the Senator over there mentioned.

As to the forgotten Irish in England, we have seen the "Men of Arlington" and the programmes on that over the years. This is a situation, but I have to say that there is a great connection with the Irish agencies in London, Birmingham, Liverpool and so on that look after those who left, particularly in the 1950s, and some of whom fell on hard times in the more difficult years.

I mentioned Senator Norris and his invitation.
