Vote 42 - Rural and Community Development (Revised) (25 Apr 2018) Joe Carey: I have a question on Leader. The previous Minister, Deputy Humphreys, called the stakeholders back last year and a number of actions resulted from that. Would the Minister consider holding a similar type of meeting to see how those actions are working? There seems to be an issue here with Article 48 checks. The Minister might try to address the questions posed.

That the Minister is opening schemes earlier in the year is positive and to be welcomed. He stated that he would open the rural recreation and town and village renewal schemes at the end of this week. I agree with Deputy Ó Cuív about trying to broaden CLÁR. Perhaps the Minister could engage in a consultation process with the...
