Town Centre First Policy: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2022-02-24
============================================================

Brian Leddin (GP), Limerick City

Okay. I need to let Deputy Bruton take over.
I commend this policy. We must ensure we help rural areas grow and prosper by ensuring the vast majority of development happens within the existing urban footprint of our rural areas. Our towns can be the engines of our rural economy and the centres of a rural society that is strong, integrated and resilient.
