The Committee of Public Accounts does not deal with these issues, as the Taoiseach well knows.

I wish to go back to a question asked earlier. The Taoiseach mentioned the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, Deputy Heather Humphreys. She was in Ballymahon on Monday. It was like hearing Big Tom because of the way she talked about the four roads going everywhere. She said the roads would go to Edgeworthstown, Cavan, 'blaney and everywhere else.

I was talking about Castleblayney.

I know that. Roscommon was mentioned as well. The Minister was going to be driving to all those places in smart cars, from what I heard.

What legislation does this relate to?

It relates to legislative promises. I have fought hard, along with many others, to get the rejuvenation of rural Ireland in the programme for Government. The allocation of €20 million per year for three years will not buy postage stamps for the applications.

In 2009 we had the White Paper on rural development. In 2012 the Commission for the Economic Development of Rural Areas was set up. Mr. Spillane and others did great work, but this is a talking shop. The Minister, Deputy Humphreys, needs to get out. I wish her well; I wish her nothing but the best. My family in Monaghan are keeping an eye on her as well and report back to me. The Minister needs to get her wellies on and get out into rural communities to see what is going on. We do not need reports, speeches or announcements about smart cars going on four roads to Ballymahon.

A question, please, Deputy.

In the talks, I asked for a reduction in the rate of VAT on buildings in town centres. We should wipe out the VAT for people for redevelopment. We should do the same with council charges. Will the Minister ask the county councils to stop the enormous charges for change of use?

Time is up.

These two actions can be done with the stroke of a pen. Then, the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, can go down whatever roads she likes in whatever manner she likes. The Government should let the people do the work - they are willing to do it.

I am glad Deputy McGrath referred to one of the finest sons of Castleblayney.

I will ask the Minister, Deputy Humphreys, to give the Deputy the up-to-date detail without singing "Four Roads to Glenamaddy".

Give her the money.

She will tell the Deputy about and I ask him to listen carefully.

There is a cross-Government approach to this. Every Minister and Department is focused on rural Ireland. It is about working together and investing in rural areas. The €60 million to which the Deputy refers is focused on regenerating towns and villages. There are many communities across the country that have good ideas on how best they can improve their towns and villages. We are going to work with local communities. This is a bottom-up approach.

Paint the windows.

A few windows.

It is about asking them to come forward with the suggestions. We want to support them and help them. That is only one aspect of it. For example, there is €50 million for sports capital grants and rural regeneration, there is investment in blueways and greenways and there is investment-----

Stop, stop, stop.

-----in 18 new primary care units. There is a lot of investment in the plan-----

I am sorry I asked at all. The Minister is doing the chorus.

The Deputy should read the plan. Regarding the rates-----

I thank the Minister.
