-----that have applied for this funding and others, including my own village of Grange, that are going to apply for it. There is a fund of €15 million. I expect that it will be greatly oversubscribed. I ask that the Minister consider a second scheme for community halls later in the year. It is the first time either the Minister or the Department has ever done this. It has gone down really well with local communities. We should look at providing money to run another scheme later in the year for those towns and villages whose applications are revealed to be unsuccessful in a couple of months' time.

Can we get an update on when decisions will be made on applications to the CLÁR scheme? Some ten villages in Tipperary have made applications.
