asked the Minister for Local Government whether the Limerick planning region will be developed as a unit or whether it is intended to concentrate intensive development in any one particular area; and what the position of regions such as North Tipperary will be if intensive development is concentrated in any one particular area.

The regional and local physical planning programme is designed to promote development of the resources of all areas. The Report and Advisory Outline Plan for the Limerick Region by Professor Lichfield and Associates advises in favour of a number of major and subsidiary growth points in the region as well as a variety of other development measures. As already emphasised, the Report is an advisory one on which the views of all interested parties have been invited. I am very glad to see that the planning authorities in the Limerick region have got together with other major development interests concerned to consider the Report and I look forward to having their joint views in the matter in due course.
