Mr. Fintan O'Brien:

I agree with what Ms Graham said about Town Centre First. While this Department is very focused on rural areas, there are some funding streams for things such as hubs that the Deputy mentioned. We funded the development of hubs in some of those urban villages he mentioned through various schemes. One of the schemes we launched recently helped to develop existing infrastructure in those hubs, including additional seating and Covid-related social distancing facilities. While we are quite rural focused given the nature of the Department, some of our schemes cover those urban villages the Deputy mentioned.
