There are two things I would like to bring up, both of which come under the remit of the Minister, Deputy Humphreys's Department. I will raise them now because we are in the last week before recess.

I hope this is not another Tipperary thing.

I am going to name three villages in Tipperary in a few seconds. On a serious note, the deadline for applications for funding to refurbish community halls is on Thursday. I am working with many towns and villages in Tipperary-----

I knew it would be about Tipperary.

-----that have applied for this funding and others, including my own village of Grange, that are going to apply for it. There is a fund of €15 million. I expect that it will be greatly oversubscribed. I ask that the Minister consider a second scheme for community halls later in the year. It is the first time either the Minister or the Department has ever done this. It has gone down really well with local communities. We should look at providing money to run another scheme later in the year for those towns and villages whose applications are revealed to be unsuccessful in a couple of months' time.

Can we get an update on when decisions will be made on applications to the CLÁR scheme? Some ten villages in Tipperary have made applications.

Name them.

I refer to the likes of Drangan, Cloneen-----

The Senator has 20 seconds to get them all in.

-----and Drumbane. In fairness, these are villages that very rarely get money. This goes right to the heart of the communities. Receiving that money is of significant importance to these villages. The longer they wait, the more it will cost to do them up. I am talking about playgrounds and the likes, which are really important. I would appreciate it if we could get some sort of update before the recess.
