Danny Healy-Rae (Kerry, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I am glad to get the opportunity in the Chamber to respectfully ask the Minister to provide more funding for the local improvement scheme, LIS, in Kerry. At present, we have 659 LIS applications and 14 community applications, that is, 673 applications, waiting for funding. Of course, I thank her for the €799,000 she gave earlier in the year which will do only 15 roads, but that leaves a deficit of 673 roads. At the current rate we are going, that will take up to 30 years.
