Some 22 applications are at present awaiting inspection in County Sligo and some 37 in County Leitrim. Inspections by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government under the rural renewal scheme are continually monitored and, where necessary, steps by way of redeploying inspectors are taken to minimise any delays that may occur.
