Dr. Michael Harty was part of a group of rural TDs who agreed to support Fine Gael during government talks, in exchange for a number for measures to support areas outside of urban centres. 

These included a specific Minister for Rural Affairs, a committment to "rural proof" all policy decisions and the implementation of the CEDRA report. 

Speaking during Leaders Questions, Deputy Harty has said these promises have not materialised and an imbalance in rural and urban development remains.
