Five thousand people went onto the streets in Tipperary last year. The Taoiseach is well aware of the history of all of that. There is a new feeling there. The Taoiseach acknowledged that he would set up a task force under the Minister of State, Deputy English. Will the Taoiseach ask the Minister of State and the Minister for Rural and Community Development, Deputy Ring, to seek collaboration from all the groups, which are many and varied? The Jobs for Tipp action group has been excluded although it has been working hard behind the scenes for three or four years. The groups are ready, willing and able to collaborate. This cannot be a solo run by any group and the county council because people have, unfortunately, a lack of trust in the council. New shops have opened and business has been increasing in Tipperary. There is a feelgood factor and we do not want this to go wrong. If there is a task force, it must be meaningful and engage with all of the groups that are active and interested in collaborating and being involved.

As the Deputy will be aware, we have had a couple of meetings with different people to try to organise the working group. The local authority has been involved as well. I hope that in February we will be in a position to announce the details of who will be on the working group and how we can progress it. We will involve all the Members of the House from Tipperary in how we put the group together. I will link back with the Deputy, hopefully in the next two weeks.
