I understand the question is grouped with a number of questions from Deputy Brendan Smith who would have raised questions with the Minister about the Ballyhaise and Castletara areas being included in the CLÁR area. The Deputy is held up with the Good Friday committee meeting at this stage but I ask that the Minister might be able to address those points. In particular, I want to raise with the Minister the possibility of changing the application process for the CLÁR measure 1 applications as residents in larger counties feel that the current scheme, as it is constituted with a maximum of 15 applicants per county, is placing people in CLÁR areas in the larger counties at a disadvantage.
