Joint Oireachtas Committee on Regional Development, Rural Affairs, Arts and the Gaeltacht

Rural Development and Infrastructure: Belturbet, Connemara and Kells Municipal Districts

2:15 pm

Mr. Seán Drew:

Very quickly. The town and village renewal scheme was great, but what does it mean to the Kells municipal district? It means €63,000. On the ground, that is what it means for us - €63,000.

As for the rural recreation allocation of €4.5 million, County Meath is not getting a single penny. I believe the focus of Members of the Oireachtas and of this committee should be on this issue. If we do not have the funding, we can talk all we like about what we wish to get done in rural Ireland. We must get the funding.
