Tá líon mór grúpaí pobail áitiúla, lena n-áirítear coiste tithíochta i gCléire, coiste tithíochta an oileán agus go leor eile, ag freastal ar phobail inár ndúiche. Is pobail iad sin atá thíos leis. Tá na grúpaí seo ag cur an dinnéar, córas iompair agus go leor eile ar fáil. Tá sé fíorthábhachtach go mbeadh gach foinse maoinithe a bhféadfadh tacaíocht a thabhairt do na grúpaí sin ar fáil dóibh agus nach mbeidís fágtha ar lár.

It is vital that those different community groups can be funded. I acknowledge that the Minister of State is taking lessons from that earlier round and possibly making improvements on the more recent ones. I asked about SICAP under budget 2023, which would not be expected to be spent for some months yet. Can that be advanced so it is ready to release to groups at the earliest possible time? In many areas, they are already suffering from those higher costs.
