Ms Mary Hurley:

There is €1 billion in the RRDF, which is about Our Rural Future and rural regeneration and revitalisation. Our Rural Future is a cross-government strategy. It is not just funding funnelled through my Department; we work with partners in a range of Departments and a huge amount of funding is going into issues around tourism, heritage and transport with our colleagues. There is a huge amount of money there, more than there has ever been. Between the RRDF and the range of other programmes in place with other Departments and in my Department, there are huge opportunities. On delivery of Our Rural Future, we are just about to publish our progress report. Huge progress has been made on some of the issues such as Croí Cónaithe and the town and village scheme. We are working with other Departments on that.
