It still punished the same counties. Kildare is still the lowest, along with County Galway. That is why I also mentioned Galway. It makes no sense as to why that is the case. It is important to raise the matter here because what is happening is unfair. Certain counties are not getting the services they require. Kildare is putting the houses in place, we have seen that in the numbers, but it is not getting funding from the Department.
I will move on to LIHAF. I am aware of one scheme where funding was put in place for a LIHAF relief road in Maynooth. Is LIHAF still open? Is the money still available to be drawn down. It was mentioned by Mr. Doyle earlier.
