Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Jun 2017)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I welcome Mr. McGuinness most sincerely. It should be noted that he has made a major contribution in the west and a major statement in saying he did not want to be reappointed. Unfortunately, it did not raise any issue in the national media. If it had been any other agency or an agency based in Dublin, days would have been spent talking about the crisis, but there was no such effect. ...

Éamon Ó Cuív: I have two more questions. Virtually no money has been spent this year by the Department on what will be regional and rural affairs on the capital side. Any expenditure literally relates to the administration of the Leader programme. That means there will be a rush to try to spend money by the end of the year or else there will be a major underspend. If €5 million or €10...
