The refurbishment of a number of rural cottages in the Newport area of County Mayo is included under the County Council's approved rural refurbishment programme for the Westport area. This programme received approval from my Department in October 2006, and a revised budget cost was agreed in April 2007. This programme is to be jointly funded from the Council's own resources and by the Department. While the County Council has indicated that works have started on this programme, no funding from my Department has been sought as yet.
