I should like the Minister to reassure me that county councils and local authorities in the Border region will be in a position to make a submission to his Department or to the committee who will deal with the matter because, as Deputy Leonard said, it is clear that several Government Departments have not responded. I ask the Minister to ensure that the widest possible representations are received from the Border areas.

I did not think it would be necessary for me to ask anyone to make submissions where the spending of money is involved. However, like Homer nodding, I will try to spot gaps in the representations and to fill them.
