Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Programmes (26 Sep 2023)

Brendan Griffin: I thank the Minister. The announcement on the successful measure 1 and 3 projects is absolutely eagerly awaited.

Every single one of those projects is important in those communities. I raised the issue with the Minister during the summer. In my...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Departmental Programmes (26 Sep 2023)

Brendan Griffin: One of the really important features of the programme is that it is relatively small money in the overall scheme of things. However, the fundraising capacity of the communities to which this funding is delivered is quite limited. For example, Camp Community Council, which is not far from where I live, was in contact with me. It built a fabulous playground many years ago. It needs an...

It involved 173 roads that previously were not done, which is important to the residents and farmers using those roads. For those people, they are the most important road there are. There are hundreds more roads that...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rural Schemes (26 Sep 2023)

Brendan Griffin: I know people in County Kerry who are No. 300 or 400 on the list. At the current rate of 25 per annum, which is a good year, it will still take so many years to get it done. I am under enormous pressure, as are other Deputies and councillors. If the council says it only has so much capacity to do X number of roads in the year, which is what I understand has been happening in recent years,...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Sep 2023)

Brendan Griffin: Last Thursday, I raised the issue of cocaine use in our communities, and the normalisation of the use of cocaine that we have seen creep in in recent years.

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (21 Sep 2023)

Brendan Griffin: Annagh Banks is a 14-unit development on the Inch-Dingle road out of Castlemaine. Anyone familiar with my part of the country would see it on the right-hand side as they are leaving Castlemaine. It has been unfinished for well over a decade. These houses would take very little work to get them over the line and become homes for people. Kerry County Council is preparing a turnkey...
