I am seeing the benefits of Leader funding throughout the country, especially the elements of the €52.8 million that come through the Leader programme for social regeneration. The community halls are very much needed in rural areas. Will the Minister note that all funding for urban areas has been suspended? Will he consider the possibility of funding urban areas, because we also need capital for social and community infrastructure similar to what is being funded through the €52.8 million?
