Brian Leddin (GP), Limerick City

It is not my place to try to answer Deputy Boyd Barrett's question but I will propose a solution that I would like the Minister to listen to. I would make a case for my home of Limerick - I am sure that the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donovan, makes this case to the Minister daily - as a solution to the challenges facing Ireland. As Deputy Boyd Barrett outlined, it is difficult for people to purchase homes in Dublin. Dublin faces significant challenges - it is crowded and expensive. Limerick offers a solution. The much maligned decentralisation programme actually worked in Limerick, with Revenue and Irish Aid decentralising to there. Their decentralisation was successful. I encourage all Ministers to look to Limerick as a solution to Dublin's problems.
