Departmental Schemes
Seanad Éireann — 2023-05-17
============================================================

Aidan Davitt (FF), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I thank the Minister of State who, as always, has come here with good news. As he says, he is being proactive. He understands councillors and he understands their safety and security concerns. It is great news that he is actively looking at this scheme. I have no doubt that its roll-out will happen in time. I really appreciate his work.
I appreciate that he has looked at the different categories in relation to the allowances. He is keeping us updated on what the different allowances can be spent on, as he discussed here with us previously. I thank him very much again. This is a good news day for councillors.
