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

Pádraig O'Sullivan (FF), Cork North-Central

I have one supplementary question. I echo the sentiment Deputy Ring espoused - I was going to call him Minister Ring. Many communities have put shoulder to the wheel and it is great to see them acknowledged and rewarded for that. However, there are anecdotal tales that sometimes certain projects are being advanced where those communities might not have had as many refugees or Ukrainians coming into the community. Is there any kind of audit being done by the Department or somebody keeping a watchful eye to make sure those communities that do the heaviest of lifting are getting the resources the scheme was intended for?
