Éamon Ó Cuív: I thank the Minister. I do not wish to ask any supplementary questions.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Community Development Initiatives (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister knows exactly what I am afraid of. There will be one for everybody in the audience because the LCDCs are not made up of the people from the most deprived communities. What mechanism will force the LCDCs to make the money available to the most deprived communities? Previously, it was ring-fenced for them and the representatives of housing estates had to give their blessing to...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Community Development Initiatives (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am stunned that the Minister says he could not, if he wanted to, roll out the RAPID scheme in the way it used to be done. The Government could certainly have made a decision to do that so it is an extraordinary statement. I do not think a fly goes up a wall in Mayo without the Minister knowing about it. Can he tell me where the money was allocated under the RAPID or community enhancement...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Community Development Initiatives (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Can the Minister send me the details?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: RAPID Programme (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: We will not delay too long on this. The question relates to County Wexford and the areas that can apply for funding under the new community enhancement scheme. The Minister might give me the details of the amount allocated in 2019.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: RAPID Programme (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Would the Minister agree that the most deprived communities in the country are all urban communities, and tend to be urban communities with a high percentage of social housing?

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: RAPID Programme (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Is the Minister saying the sociologists got it wrong when they did their detailed analysis of the census figures, which showed the most concentrated deprivation at community level was exclusively in urban communities? It reminds me of a visit I paid to Wexford town, where I said to the RAPID team there that I had never seen the level of disadvantage and deprivation in rural areas that I saw...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Community Development Initiatives (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: 6. To ask the Minister for Rural and Community Development the details of the RAPID or community enhancement programme he has put in place since becoming Minister; if he has reviewed the operation of the programme to ensure the target groups are benefiting from the programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45957/18]

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Community Development Initiatives (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The Minister knows that I have been concerned about whether funding under the new community enhancement programme which has replaced the RAPID programme is really going to the most deprived areas or being spent willy-nilly. What analysis has he made to ensure the most deprived communities will actually have parity in accessing the money under the programme?

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Expenditure (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Not so long ago I submitted a question about money allocated in 2016 on a forward payment basis that had not been spent. I cannot understand why, when local authorities are consistently not spending the money allocated to them, the Department does not allocate funds on a use or lose basis. The Department allocated local improvement scheme money in January, for example. Why did it not...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: CLÁR Programme (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: 3. To ask the Minister for Rural and Community Development his plans to reintroduce the group water and sewerage top-up leverage schemes under the CLÁR programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46147/18]

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: CLÁR Programme (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: My question relates to the reintroduction of the group water scheme top-up. I read a value for money report recently indicating that certain officials seem to think that an average spend of between €10,000 and €12,000 per house on schemes in very isolated rural areas is very expensive. Does the Minister believe that everyone in the country should be given access, with very few...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: CLÁR Programme (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: Does the Minister believe that it is the fundamental right of every household to have access to water from either a high quality group water scheme or a public main? Does he agree that those who say a cost to the State of €12,000 per household is excessive should examine the cost of providing basic services to an urban house? In an urban context, one is talking about water, sewerage,...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: CLÁR Programme (8 Nov 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: When the top-up system was in place previously, the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment did not withdraw money. In fact, the top-up had the opposite effect in that it made it possible for schemes in isolated areas to access funding from that Department because it made collecting the local contribution easier and ensured that proposals for group schemes were viable....
