Departmental Funding
Dail Éireann — 2023-06-13
============================================================

Heather Humphreys (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

We work with people and we have a degree of flexibility and common sense, to be fair. Again, we engage with the Department or with Pobal at the minute. It all comes from my Department.
For the new build in Glanmire, I suggest that Deputy O'Sullivan should work with the local authority. It needs to engage. The local authority has been asked to engage with communities and to help to build capacity within communities that need new community centres. He should engage with the community section of his local authority. There has to be real engagement with the people on the ground to find out exactly what they need. It is important their needs are taken into consideration. My advice is to go to the local authority. I will leave it at that.
