Prayer. 02/05/2018A00100Ceisteanna - Questions 02/05/2018A00200Priority Questions 02/05/2018A00250Acting Chairman (Deputy Eugene Murphy): Good morning Minister, Minister of State, Deputies and staff of the House� We will take questions to the Minister for Rural and Commu- nity Development, Deputy Ring, and the Minister of State at the Department of Rural and Com- munity Development, Deputy Kyne� I remind Members that they have 30 seconds to introduce their questions� The Minister has two minutes to reply and then Members have an opportunity to ask two supplementary questions� I ask everyone to stick to the time limits laid out� 02/05/2018A00300RAPID Programme 02/05/2018A0040016� Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development his plans for the roll-out of the RAPID programme in the coming years; the method by which he will ensure that RAPID funding is spent for the benefit of the persons living in RAPID areas; the method by which the programme will leverage actions and funding from other Departments towards the RAPID areas; and if he will make a statement on the matter� [19154/18] 02/05/2018A00500Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív: Contrary to a sometimes popular perception, the reality is that the most deprived communities in the State are in urban areas� Many of them are in this city, even though we are told it is a very successful one, but they are also in towns around the country� How is the Minister going to ensure that the RAPID programme helps the most disadvantaged communities and does not get spread out into more affluent areas? 02/05/2018A00600Minister for Rural and Community Development (Deputy Michael Ring): In line with a commitment under the programme for Government, I launched a new RAPID programme in 2017� This was a brand new programme to replace the original RAPID scheme that was funded a number of years ago� Under the new programme, funding is provided for local authority areas instead of for specific RAPID areas as had been the case in the past. Local community development committees, LCDCs, operating under the aegis of the local authorities, allocate the funding to individual projects at a local level� 436 3 May 2018 My Department is currently developing proposals for an enhanced programme to support disadvantaged communities and I hope to make an announcement in this regard in the coming weeks� My intention is that the programme will continue to focus on addressing areas of local disadvantage and that LCDCs will continue to administer the programme at local level� By using local structures and local knowledge, we can ensure that funding is given to those areas most in need� 02/05/2018A00700Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív: I am concerned by the Minister’s answer� By their nature, the LCDCs are going to focus right across the whole local authority area� Taking the Minister’s county of Mayo as an example, there is a RAPID area in Ballina but the LCDC represents ur- ban, rural, affluent and not so affluent areas. How is the Minister going to ensure that the focus is on the areas that got the designation? They tended to lose out. What structures are in place to ensure that the housing estates that were the cause of the designation have a big input into where the RAPID funds go? 02/05/2018A00800Deputy Michael Ring: In respect of the recent programme, I allocated €6 million in fund- ing, of which €2 million went to the LCDCs� I divided that equally around the country this year� Some €3�5 million will be ring-fenced this year and last year there was €2�5 million ring-fenced for Dublin inner city, in particular� Some €500,000 of that funding was for legacy schemes that had been there in the past� The Deputy is quite correct� That is why I am asking the LCDCs� They are the people who are on the ground, have the local knowledge and should be able to identify where the
