Can the Minister say whether the sale of land by the IDA in any area indicates a lack of priority for that area in view of the fact that the IDA are selling land in that area? In this regard I would specifically mention Carrick-on-Suir which we are all extremely——

The Deputy is again adverting to a particular matter.

The sale of a portion of IDA land in any particular area is no indication of any lack of priority in the area. If the IDA think they have surplus land they are entitled to move and dispose of a portion of it.

With regard to Carrick-on-Suir, which I know is a black spot, I can assure the Deputy and the House that this area is getting priority attention from the IDA. They visited a site there recently and are pretty hopeful of getting a unit of manufacturing industry in there in the foreseeable future.

Thank you, a Cheann Comhairle.

(Limerick East): For arranging a supplementary giving the Deputy a bit of good news.

Order.
