Will the Minister of State pursue that matter at Government level through the Taoiseach to ensure that the Department concerned responds to the desires and wishes of the Oireachtas? Will the development needs of the most threatened rural areas be accommodated? Will the Minister of State try to accommodate the terms of the pilot rural renewal scheme which has recently received clearance from the EU Commission? Does he see that as a fairly important ingredient of the White Paper? Should that be included, particularly since it is being sought by other areas? Is the Minister committed to regional economic development to ensure that the lopsided development, which sees increased growth, congestion and gridlock in some parts, will not be at the expense of continued depopulation and decline in other areas? The Minister of States knows well to what I refer. Will the desired policy of the White Paper be to address rural development in a broad multi-functional capacity? Will it cover all aspects of rural development, that is, the social, economic, cultural, infrastructural and environmental aspects? Is that what the Minister wants to see from the White Paper?
