Alongside the excellent work being done in the delivery of housing supply, there is significant potential for additional supply in our rural towns and villages. In recognition of that, in April of last year the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, announced a special funding opportunity for our rural towns and villages, namely, €15 million for wastewater treatment plants to allow them to develop to their full potential. A year and a half later, there has been no further announcement on that funding. My local authority submitted two villages for consideration, Craughwell and Clarinbridge, both of which could offer people a wonderful opportunity and a very attractive place to live in close proximity to Galway city. However, both of those villages and, indeed, all of the villages that have similar potential across County Galway have their development potential suppressed right now because they do not have the resources to develop those wastewater facilities. Could the Taoiseach inquire as to where that report is, along with findings of the review into how exactly we can develop those villages and give them the resources they need?

I will certainly make inquiries with the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, and come back to the Deputy directly on that. It is a very good scheme. We want all of our villages and small towns to be able to expand and to have some room for natural increase not in a way that causes sprawl, but in a way that allows more building close to the village and town centres. That requires some investment. I will get back to Deputy Cannon with a further reply.
