Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

In fairness to the Deputy, she has never been slow to speak up and advocate for Carlow. I will engage with the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage in respect of this matter, particularly in terms of the equalisation fund and what the Deputy says has been a consistent underfunding of Carlow for quite a number of years in the amount of €2.7 million per year. I will engage with the Minister and raise with him the points the Deputy has raised in respect of the local authority in Carlow. I fully understand the integral part the local authority plays in the development of Carlow town and county.
