Former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern's deals with North Tipp Independent Michael Lowry are finally being revealed.
The full extent of the deals with Deputy Lowry and Kerry South's Jackie Healy-Rae will be made known on RTE 1's The Week in Politics tonight.
Michael Lowry's deal had more than a dozen pledges on health, including the development of a “surgery centre of excellence” at Nenagh Hospital.
School buildings, care centres for the elderly and a public swimming pool in Roscrea were also among the more than 40 local priorities set out in the agreement.
His agreement also dealt with road improvements, including a €2m link road in Thurles which is due to open shortly.
The support of Deputies Lowry and Healy-Rae was vital in securing Bertie Ahern's third term as Taoiseach in 2007.
