Joe O'Brien: The best I can do is to tell the Deputy that we will get back to him with some detail on that. I simply do not have the information available.

Catherine Connolly: By any stretch of the imagination, Question No. 98, in the name of Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan, was not expected to be reached.
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rural Schemes (10 Oct 2024)
Pádraig O'Sullivan: To be fair, I did not expect Question No. 98 to be reached. Nationally, €30 million was allocated for greenfield sites for new community centres in the last round of the community centre investment fund. I am aware of four projects in Cork, two of which were mentioned by Deputy Gould earlier. I am advocating for a significant upward review of that €30 million in light of the...

Joe O'Brien: The expectation is that decisions will be made on the community centre investment fund by the end of the year. That is as much information as I have on it. I have nothing here to support that.

Joe O'Brien: Given that it is World Mental Health Day, maybe we could take a 20-minute mental health break.

Catherine Connolly: Okay. We are in the same position regarding all the questions after that. We have Deputy O'Rourke and Deputy O'Sullivan in the Chamber. I understand the Minister of State's dilemma. Does Deputy O'Rourke want to refer briefly to Question No. 93?
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Rural Schemes (10 Oct 2024)
Darren O'Rourke: Question No. 93 seeks an update on the LEADER programme. What measures have been funded for climate change mitigation and adaptation? What amount of funding was allocated to the programme in budget 2025? Will the Minister of State make a statement on the matter?

Thomas Gould: The Minister of State spoke about capacity and funding being in place. I represent an area in Cork called Ballyvolane. It is now a massive area with a lot of privately built houses but also social housing. There is a mixture. There is no community centre. Right now, there is a plan to build 1,000 more houses, and in the wider Ballyvolane area there is the possibility of 2,000 houses and...

Joe O'Brien: A couple of points occur to me. If I do not get to them all, I will do it in follow-up. There is a responsibility, if the Deputy is talking specifically about community centres, on the local authority which needs to engage with its local community. I know there is a good community department in Cork and I know a few of the people in there who would be committed. I also know the area of...

Thomas Gould: Fair Hill is another area in my constituency. The current group of volunteers, because that is what they are, have been doing unbelievable work there for the past ten years. Cork City Council gave them a council house. They have hundreds of children between community groups, youth groups, art groups and counselling. The Minister of State would want to see the work they are doing out of a...

Joe O'Brien: I am identifying an immediate need and a long-term need. Building projects take time. If there is a site and the council is engaged with it, we are on for talking to them. We now have the community centre investment fund. It is oversubscribed, but there is an option. There are other options with possible smaller allocations. One thing I will put out there when it comes to immediate...
