Senator Bannon raised the issue of supporting local authorities in implementing their plans. No matter what a Government does, the Opposition can say €22 million or €50 million is only buttons, yet these are major resources. The number of bring banks has increased greatly, from 800 to 1,450. There are several civic amenity sites and there is funding for more of these. A lot has been done and a lot more needs to be done. It is important that we continue and that we recognise what has been done.
