Leitrim community car scheme
Deputy Harkin praised a volunteer car scheme supporting isolated people and asked if it could receive support. The Taoiseach said the scheme was commendable and that Ministers would examine possible local funding options.
The Government is looking at it.
Comment on this
Yes, that is what I am saying. I will talk to the Minister about it again. He raised it over a week ago.
The community car scheme is a very commendable scheme. Many community schemes are doing great work like that. There is a variety of localised funding from the Department of Rural and Community Development that people could tap into. We will follow up with both Ministers to see what can be done. The danger is that once you start formalising grants and so on there is all sorts of bureaucracy and stuff. Whatever can be done speedily and quickly would be of interest.
Is Deputy Healy-Rae's question talking about burning in the farmyard or on the general farm?
