Charles Flanagan (Laois, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I remind the Deputy that, following his appointment, one of the Taoiseach's first acts was to appoint for the first time a specifically designated Minister for rural affairs with an appropriate budget. I acknowledge the recent announcement by the Minister for Rural and Community Development, Deputy Ring, of unprecedented funding under the town and village renewal scheme. I do not have the details of the village of Rostellan before me.
