When I asked a question about this, however, I got this list of private companies which were given the money. That is fine. I have no problem with private companies getting money and grants they need. What I am saying is that there seems to be a myth out there that there is a great deal of devolved regional structural funds for infrastructure that is administered by regional assemblies. That is not what I found out.

By the way, if people want to mobilise rural Ireland they need to get on to the sports clubs and the GAA, in particular. It can be done in one shot rather than through a convoluted system. That is, in any event, my own pedigree.
