FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding
9:30 am
Mr. Feargal ? Coigligh:
The Government has put generous funding schemes in place to help local authorities, clubs and communities to build up exactly the kinds of facilities the Deputy speaks of, guided by the local democratic representatives who decide local planning policy based on national planning guidelines about development plans, and so on. I think the system works well overall. There might be difficulties in individual areas. We have heard about a development in the Deputy's own area which it seems to have been stuck. The Department provided a grant and that offer is still there. We have seen large-scale projects.
