Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

There has been a 50% increase in LEADER funding for west Cork and Cork county in general. The Deputy knows about the Bandon flood relief scheme, which has received huge public funding, and €5 million has gone into the Bandon public realm project. The Clonakilty and Skibbereen flood relief schemes have been funded. Significant public money is going into west Cork and the Deputy knows that. That will continue. I travel in west Cork a lot, in particular during the summer when there are a lot of championship matches there because the county board always sends us there for a variety of reasons. I can get from A to B relatively quickly. I was in Clonakilty during the summer when major investment in a treasury company in Clonakilty Park was announced. There has been a dramatic increase in employment and significant investment, which is a huge vote of confidence.
