Deputy Heather Humphreys:I thank the Deputy. While the community centres investment fund is very popular, we do have other schemes. I have made community halls eligible for other schemes such as CLÁR, which does some small work in upgrading community centres, and the town and village renewal scheme which gives funding to convert or repurpose old buildings into community centres and it is important to look at the different types of funding available. Indeed, LEADER in the past has been very good at assisting communities in developing their community centres as well. I take the point made by Deputies Harkin and Murnane O'Connor and if they speak to Deputy Paul Donnelly, he will be able to give them a good update on Hartstown because we really had a great day there when we launched the first one. I hope the work is coming on well and I look forward to going back to see the finished project. The fund was €300,000 at that stage. The €20 million now is for the big projects and it is important we support them, which we will.
