Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities

Ms Mary Hurley:
It is very important. There is big funding for rural regeneration. Many projects would be selected by local authorities under the town and village scheme. They would be submitted to the Department. Funding is also provided for the social inclusion and community activation programme, SICAP, the community enhancement programme and libraries. Large amounts of money are going to local authorities.
