Frankie Feighan (FG), Sligo-Leitrim

I thank the Minister of State. I am happy that the Minister recognises the importance of the community involvement scheme and that it allows communities to access funds for repairs of more lightly trafficked public roads. I hope the upcoming budget will be more committed to continuously supporting the community involvement scheme because it is important. It is about residents living around rural sections of public roads so that those roads can be maintained and improved. I would like to see more funding for the community involvement scheme and a model that mirrors the local improvement scheme because it has been a huge success. As the Minister of State knows, living in rural Ireland, roads, particularly in rural areas, need as much assistance and upkeep as possible.
