Departmental Schemes
Dail Éireann — 2022-12-15
============================================================

Seán Canney (IND), Galway East

The local improvement scheme is important in rural Ireland. It is popular. There is considerable demand for the scheme. I acknowledge the fact that the Department has over the years since it was reintroduced funded this scheme as best it could. There is considerable demand for it. In Galway alone, we have probably 150 applications in a waiting list and we have stopped taking applications. I wonder how can we increase funding for the scheme.
