The Briery Gap has been closed since the May 2016 fire and the cultural heart of Macroom and the wider area has been hard hit. While there are temporary measures in place to try to facilitate some services, there is a cultural void in the absence of the theatre and the cinema. I have raised this issue with the Minister previously. It is going to be expensive to redevelop the Briery Gap. There is significant local funding, with almost €1 million allocated by the county council, but national funding, however, has been very poor. It comes to only 6% of the overall cost of the redevelopment. Will the Minister outline what kind of funding streams will be available?
