There is €150 million in funding under regional property programmes sponsored by IDA Ireland to increase foreign direct investment, a €50 million investment by Enterprise Ireland to support collaborative approaches to job creation in the regions and €37.5 million to implement the social inclusion and community activation programme. It is not all new funding but all of the programmes are being drawn together.

In respect of the question the Deputy asked about farmers, new taxation measures to assist the farming sector include an increase in the earned income tax credit for self-employed farmers, the roll-out of new income averaging step-out for farmers, the extension of farm restructuring capital gains tax relief to the end of 2019 and the investigation of taxation measures which might support farmers through periods of income volatility.
