The Government will have to fund Irish Water properly to develop these schemes because it is a case of live horse and you will get grass. It will not work. Leaving out the roads of Clashnagarrane, Knockataggle and Rahanane, which the village is actually built in, is absolutely ridiculous. The Taoiseach mentioned the Minister, Deputy Foley. I am saying to her that the five Deputies from Kerry need to meet. The municipal members of the Killarney municipal area want to meet the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, about this. We will not take no for an answer. It is clear that in the first place, these roads were envisaged and these houses were to be catered for, but now they are being left out of it because of money. At the same time, the Taoiseach and the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, are here. I am not being critical, but they are saying that funding is not a problem. If it is not a problem, they should make the funding available for this scheme and allow all the houses to be catered for.
