The town and village renewal scheme under the Minister's Department is a fantastic scheme to invest in our rural towns and villages. I was delighted to see the Minister's announcement last month of a €4.5 million package for our rural towns and villages. Will the Minster outline any analysis her Department is conducting on those investments to ensure we are achieving what we set out to do with this, that is, to regenerate and bring life, living and better footfall back into our towns and villages and to create nicer places for the people who live there?
