Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I accept the Deputy's point that for some local authorities, particularly those on a low rates base, it can be difficult to find the co-funding that might be available. It is perhaps something we can examine under the regional enterprise development funds. We will have over €100 million over the next couple of years from that for regional enterprise development.
Approximately €100 million has been invested in remote working hubs through the Department of Rural and Community Development, with just €9 million awarded last year through Connected Hubs. These are very good investments and I visit many of them getting around the country. I am keen to see them full and busy. They are not all full, by the way, but if they are busy we can invest in them some more.
