Would the Minister not agree that Border towns such as Cavan and Monaghan were more in need of inclusion in this scheme than many of the areas he has mentioned? Would the Minister not accept that traders in those towns——

This question deals with Castlebar and I cannot have an extension of the question.

They are having great difficulty in surviving and would the Minister consider extending the scheme to include those towns?

The Deputy should put down a question appertaining to the area for which he is concerned.

Would the Minister reply to the question?

I will reply to it. Representations were received from dozens of towns and I recognise what the Deputy says to be true. There are many other towns which could benefit but there is only a certain amount of investment available. There is not much point in designating the whole of Ireland.

The Border towns——

We cannot have a general debate on the subject matter today. Deputy Quinn.
