I thank the Minister of State for agreeing to bring those two schemes to the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donovan. I would state very clearly here that Cavan local authority has put forward very realistic proposals on those two particular estates and other projects too. I hope that it would be possible to get clearance from the Department early in 2023 so that the council can set about drawing down that funding and bringing those necessary improvement works to those two particular estates. Other projects have also been submitted by the council which it is confident it could easily carry out should the funding become available.
