Mr. Michael Gallagher:

We have not received any extra funding. When there were six municipal areas we did not get a fair share, but we are now getting a fair share percentage wise. The issue needs to be addressed. The roads are in a serious condition.

Another matter affecting the environment in the county is the North-South interconnector which is proposed to come through the county. It will have a negative affect on the development of our tourism and heritage. The proposed wind farm close to the heritage town of Kells would comprise 50 160 m high windmills. which would have a detrimental effect on the environment and landscape of Meath. These are issues that need to be addressed.
