I would be happy to have him take up the matter.

Senator O'Sullivan will be glad to hear that, home and away, the Minister, Deputy Coveney, and I work very well. I would prefer to stay at home, as Senator O'Sullivan can imagine.

Senator Norris raised the issue of the Corrib gas field and the Royal Dutch Shell sale. That is a matter for other parts of the world, but not for me.

Senator O'Donnell raised the issue of the M20 Cork to Limerick motorway and the publication of the Indecon study by the Limerick and Cork chambers of commerce. I hope that road will be very much a part of the capital infrastructure programme and I imagine the Cathaoirleach does too. The south-west axis is central to creating a counterbalance to Dublin. As Senator Gavan from Limerick and Senator Byrne will know, that road needs to be upgraded.
