Jennifer Murnane O'Connor (FF), Carlow-Kilkenny

I thank the Minister of State. I welcome this and we have spoken previously about it. I welcome regional development but since Carlow is the smallest county in the south east, I always feel we have a lot more to do. I find it is a challenge for us. I thank the Minister of State for his commitment to meeting IDA Ireland with me and perhaps meeting Carlow County Council. Carlow has so much to offer. We are close to Dublin. Our road infrastructure is excellent. I could mention MSD and Unum. Glenveagh is opening a new factory. We have such potential but we need help. To get this help everybody must be involved and all of the agencies must work together. I am raising this because of my concerns that we are the smallest county and this affects us. It is a lot more challenging for us.
