Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

It is important that local authorities make submissions for additional money. There will be a budget for the LIS next year. It is important that the work gets started in the spring or summer and is not left until the end of the year when sometimes it is too late. I envisage through the course of 2022 that if we see there are underspends in particular Departments and those Departments are not able to proceed with certain capital works, this is an ideal scheme, among others, to put additional money into. I encourage local authorities to get ready for that and have projects ready to bid for additional funding, should it become available.
