Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

Our Rural Future, Ireland's Rural Development Policy 2021-25, recognises the potential of remote working hubs as key economic assets for our rural towns and villages. There is a list of islands that were consulted: Sherkin, Whiddy, Dursey, Bere, Inisheer, Inishmore, Inishmaan, Heir Island, Long Island, Cléire in County Cork, Arranmore in County Donegal, Tory in County Donegal and Clare Island in County Mayo.

It will provide up to €400,000 to each local authority to purchase vacant and derelict buildings in rural towns and villages for development as community assets. This year, I have included under that scheme a new building acquisition measure that will provide up to €400,000 to each local authority to purchase vacant and derelict buildings in rural towns and villages for development as community assets.

Question No. 6 is in the name of Deputy O'Connor but I do not see him here so we will move on to No. 7.
