I thank Senator Conway for bringing the important matter of funding and services in the mid-west to the Minister's attention. I did not hear the radio programme which he has referred to but clearly it was a very important programme in Clare. I hope the bravery of the people who went on air and told their stories will result in better, and enhanced provision of, services in the area. Senator Conway has made it very clear that there is case for this. I will convey what he has said directly to the Minister. I commend him for raising this issue and for being a strong advocate for these services, which are so important for the mid-west.
