I thank the Minister for her reply.

The scheme as it stands is limited. Some counties have multiple projects which they would like to put forward for the scheme. While the €1 million in funding made available is welcome and will make a difference to various areas, it is also limited. For example, redevelopment of the Briery Gap in Macroom would cost in excess of €4 million but there is only €1 million available in the entire fund.

What other options is the Minister considering for projects such as this? Is there an opportunity to broaden it out in order that local authorities which have more projects can put them forward to be considered?
