I also want to raise the need for additional funding for the LIS in County Clare. There are a number of live applications, but the local authority has advised that it does not have the necessary funding to include a number of them on the roads programme for this year. I recently raised the case of an area of where people cannot even get deliveries of food or heating oil to their homes. Also, a brand-new car was bought in the locality and has been severely damaged. I welcome the recent announcement of additional funding, but the members of Clare County Council have advised that the sum could be quadrupled to approximately €13.5 million. That is a shortfall. In areas like west Clare, which has the highest number of applications in the county so far, it is really impacting rural living.
