John Paul O'Shea (Cork North-West, Fine Gael)

On my own behalf, I will note that it is very welcome to see that additional €15 million being allocated to the local improvement scheme. Has that already been allocated to the local authorities for drawdown in 2025? The Minister mentioned Kildare and Meath. County Cork also has a lot of rounds under the LIS. Do the councils have the allocations now and will they be spent by the end of the year?
