Over the last number of days, the South East Economic Monitor published its report, which showed a stagnant economy across the south east. There are very worrying figures in that report, which comes from a group of academics in the South East Technological University. One of the issues they cite is a lack of public investment in infrastructure. It is not that difficult to understand when there is no funding for the N24 this year and no funding for the N25 Waterford to Glenmore road, which should have got funding. There is still no funding for Waterford Airport. I have asked the Taoiseach several times about that but there is still no commitment from the Government to deliver. According to two parliamentary questions I have put down, of all the model 4 hospitals, University Hospital Waterford was joint bottom in relation to capital funding over the last ten years. Regarding technological universities, of all of the TUs, the South East Technological University was bottom of the list when it came to capital infrastructure. All of this proves that we are simply not getting our fair share. When is the Government going to sign off on the funding for Waterford Airport?

Hear, hear.

Did the Minister, James Lawless, not dig a sod in the technological university just a couple of weeks ago for a new engineering block worth about €120 million?

The lowest level of funding.

It is not Deputy McGuinness's question and there is no back and forth.

By the way, I was the Minister who secured the site for that university-----

It was a hole in the ground for ten years because of the Government's failure.

-----in terms of a new site to get it developed, and it has been a very great success story. The URDF funding was very significant for Waterford as well, and that should be acknowledged.

Read the monitor report.

I have not seen the economic monitor yet. I would like to see it because there has been there has been significant investment, both public and private, in Waterford - thankfully, because it is a good thing - and in the south east more generally. I will have a look at that. The economy is growing. Unemployment is at 4%, which is more or less equivalent to full employment, so it is difficult to identify how a report could say the economic performance was stagnant.

I will send the Taoiseach the replies to the parliamentary questions I got on capital funding-----

Deputy, please.

If the Deputy could send me on the-----

-----for the hospital and the university.

Do it in your own time, Deputy.

The Taoiseach will see that we are at the bottom, unfortunately.

Is it "Lies, lies and damned statistics"? I am not saying the Deputy is saying that. That is just a common quote, before I get into more trouble.
