============================================================

Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

It is important to remember that we need progress in this area. We also need co-ordinated progress. We need to have regard to the extent to which we address the issues in a meaningful way without impacting negatively on another community. The danger is having a Dublin solution to a nationwide problem. It does not work that way. It has to be a case of bringing all the people of the country together. There are now people who are worried about having to pay the largest price, which will ultimately affect their livelihoods and perhaps the country's economic prospects. This needs to be borne in mind to a greater extent than heretofore.
