There are 145 in Wicklow and 2,000 across the State. When I engage with my local authority in Wicklow, it says it can only progress so far because of a shortage of funding coming from central government. Mr. Doyle is saying he cannot give assurances that requests coming from Wicklow or any other local authority for funding will be granted.
