Vol. 540 No. 3

Written Answers. - Decentralisation Programme.

Brendan Smith

Ceist:

122 Mr. B. Smith asked the Minister for Finance if, in view of the importance of decentralisation to the promotion of regional development for the Border region, he will give favourable consideration to County Cavan as a centre for decentralisation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20716/01]

The Cabinet Sub-Committee on Decentralisation is currently considering the many aspects associated with a new programme and I can assure the Deputy, in this regard, that the case made for the inclusion of the Border region, and in particular County Cavan, will be fully considered.
