Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Urban and Rural Regeneration: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Fintan O'Brien:

As the town and village scheme is currently constituted, Blackpool would not be seen as eligible as it is part of the city. I understand the point the Deputy is making. Our focus, as the Department of Rural and Community Development, is very much on the rural side so it is currently not covered under the town and village renewal scheme.
