Heather Humphreys (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

I thank the Deputy. I will have to check with the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, when the next round of funding is due. I am more familiar with the rural regeneration and development fund, as the Deputy will appreciate. I will ask the Minister to get back to the Deputy on this. The Deputy is right that the funding has made changes. The centres of towns have been transformed by the urban regeneration and development funding.

My colleague, Minister of State, Deputy Butler, tells me that the North Quays in Waterford are a great example. A total of €170 million has been approved for their development. There is also a good project in Monaghan, which is getting a few euro to transform the town. I wonder did they visit that the other day.
