I agree it should be but a look at the money made available is totally insufficient to meet the need. Continuous cuts over the last few years have made it impossible to fund. You can’t take blood out of a stone. Or make money grow just by wanting it. No one in Government of any hue is happy that large swathes of the country need infrastructure investment. It dampens economic growth, investment and is a blight to all of us who live in rural areas.
I don’t for a minute think that, my own hope for Indeiendence will solve it overnight, but I believe it will be within our own hands to at least address it. We differ on that obviously but, that’s fine.
