We continue to review all of our schemes to see how they can better fit what communities need. To be fair, of all counties, Donegal has received a lot from the rural regeneration development fund. I do not have the figure to hand, but areas right across the county have benefited significantly. The urban fund is specifically for large towns like Letterkenny. If I start distributing funding into larger towns, there will be less for the smaller towns. It is as simple as that.

I do not know the project in question. If the Deputy gives me the details, I will be happy to have my officials engage with the group. Perhaps the group could look for something under the new community fund, which I launched and has been allocated this year. We are happy to have a conversation with that community group.
