There is no set way of doing it. It is all about doing what one can with the assets one has. If someone has a building, he or she may avail of the digital innovation fund to assist in developing innovation. If the building belongs to a local authority, he or she may approach the local authority for assistance or funding.

If there is no other use for a public building such as the former school in Dunmore, common sense will prevail. That may not always be the case but we will keep working on it.
