Anne Rabbitte (Fianna Fail)

My line of questioning relates to funding that would have been promised but could not be accessed because of the time of Covid and everything like that. The cost of delivery has gone up because of the cost of building. I assume the states have to go back in to reapply or redesign the application sent in. It just keeps going and going, and we never get to the end piece. One of our greatest criticisms of the Taoiseach at the moment relates to our local authorities. Maybe some, not all, are not great at delivering housing. We still have to ask the same question with regard to accessing the funds that were in the original pot for delivery. I come from the Border-midlands region, which is an area that is not where it needs to be at. Funding means a lot to us, be it our airports, road or any infrastructure. Funding means an awful lot. Funding there might not be drawn down but could be repurposed into cohesion, when we need to get the cohesion right at home as well.
