I, too, welcome this. It is important for communities. I have spoken to the Minister several times about Carlow County Council's submission of an application regarding the Tullow Road community hub. The cost is estimated at €4.1 million, which has been requested. The project is shovel-ready. The Tullow Road in Carlow has a lot of housing but there are not many facilities there. This community hub would play a huge role for the people who live there. I ask that we be one of the successful candidates. I know the Minister will give us the good news shortly. I hope we will be one of the projects chosen. Anything to do with community and the work that goes on is great. These community hubs are great for the areas in which they are located. I hope Carlow will be lucky.
