Mr. Seamus Boland:

What Ms Lennon is saying is quite right. Once one moves out of the local authority, or the towns and villages, there is a vast amount of rural housing that does not fit into those categories, and one will find that nothing is happening at all unless people have money. Often, the advice is not exactly coherent. Many single dwellings, some of which, as I said, are older stock, really need to have a lot of money spent. As we found out at those workshops, people need to ask questions of experts there and then, not to answer questions on the Internet.
