I am concerned by the Minister's answer. By their nature, the LCDCs are going to focus right across the whole local authority area. Taking the Minister's county of Mayo as an example, there is a RAPID area in Ballina but the LCDC represents urban, rural, affluent and not so affluent areas. How is the Minister going to ensure that the focus is on the areas that got the designation? They tended to lose out. What structures are in place to ensure that the housing estates that were the cause of the designation have a big input into where the RAPID funds go?
