It becomes dated.

Under the rural regeneration fund subhead in 2021, there was €58 million in gross expenditure. However, there was €99 million allocated. This means that €41 million was not spent. The explanation for this, which people will understand, is that a lot of work could not be done under the scheme as a result of Covid.

My understanding is that the scheme is used for town or village centres and local infrastructure, which could involve paving and minor works of that nature. What there also a housing dimension, in terms renovation of structures in villages or towns?
