Regional Development
Dail Éireann — 2022-10-04
============================================================

Michael McGrath (FF), Cork South-Central

The population is up in the northern and western region. Employment is up there, as, of course, are investment levels. It is because of its improved performance that it has been reclassified, not by the Government but by the European Commission. I do not suggest that the Deputy is trying to make a political football out of it.
