A total of €12.5 million was provided for the local improvements scheme, LIS, in 2005. Out of this total provision, a grant of €1,198,398 was allocated in June 2005 to Kerry County Council. All funds at my disposal for the LIS in 2005 have now been fully allocated. I will, however, take full account of the needs of all county councils, including Kerry County Council, when decisions regarding LIS grants for 2006 are being taken in the new year.
