I propose to take Questions Nos. 510 and 511 together.
My Department operates a range of programmes and schemes that support economic and community development in urban and rural areas throughout the country, including the towns of Nenagh and Clonmel.
The targeted investments and supports which my Department provides to regional, rural and local communities promote social inclusion, rural town and village regeneration, outdoor recreation, facilitate new working opportunities and foster regional enterprise growth.
Details of all funding provided by my Department since its establishment in July 2017 to both Nenagh and Clonmel towns, under the wide range of programmes, are included in the attached Appendix.
Further details of the programmes delivered by my Department are available at www.gov.ie/drcd.
