I agree that the town and village renewal scheme is excellent.

I sent the Minister Carlow County Council's one last weekend. Six projects went in. I hope she will deliver on the six of them because we are talking about rural areas. Like the previous speakers, I have my list. I gave her the six. I am afraid to single out any one in case one does not get funding. I am looking for the six of them to get the funding. I have sent them to the Minister. They are really important because in little villages like Carlow, it brings back life into certain areas and that is what we need to do.

I ask the Minister about something she mentioned earlier on but I missed it. I know it is within her remit. I refer to Carlow library. I have been onto her about it for the past few months. It is under her remit and she has been down to visit it. We need that new build and I am looking for a commitment from her. I am looking for the funding to come to County Carlow and I would appreciate it.
