Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rural Schemes (15 Sep 2022)

Claire Kerrane: I had a similar question on the paper and it was not put together with this one.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: EU Funding (15 Sep 2022)

Claire Kerrane: However, I am sure the Minister is aware of concerns that have been raised by the likes of the ILDN with regard to that budget allocation.
