Information on Castlebar renewal incentives

Summary

Kenny asked the Minister to circulate details of the scheme to people in the designated area. Flynn said Castlebar’s council and other parties were preparing a marketing package, so a circular was unnecessary.

It is. I welcome the Minister's decision to extend the original Fine Gael decision to designate Castlebar for urban renewal. I have received a number of representations from people in the town, many of them his own supporters, who cannot locate the Minister as he is very busy. Would the Minister prepare a circular indicating the details of what is available and either distribute it to those people living in the area or make it available through the town development offices in order that those who may be interested might avail of the genuine advantages which are inherent in his plan?

Comment on this

I do not think that would be necessary and it certainly would not be necessary for Deputy Kenny's town because the local urban council and other interested parties are putting together a marketing package for the designated area. I am pleased that he acknowledged that it was a good plan and I do not hold anything against the fact that part of his own office property is included in the designated area.
