"I think that it is now time to take on board what the new governments of the world are doing and get rid of the public sector wastage that has dragged this country down for so long. We have western economies on the brink of collapse while our public funds are being drained by these talking shop quangos who regurgitate the same crap at a very expensive cost to the taxpayer with irrelevant programmes and support that never makes any real impact on the health of the rural economy or social well-being of the rural dwellers. I say let''s give the thirty grand alaries to the people who do the real work in rural areas not the bureaucrats who can''t manage themselves never mind projects, yet we have to pay them for their uselessness."

"Big Lottery Fund has announced this new funding scheme in Northern Ireland, which you may wish to pass on to community voluntary groups with an interest in energy efficiency measures."

"The Rural Network NI is keen to assist members in contributing to the debate over the coming months. Let us know any ideas you may have about how best we do this and/or comment on the debate using our online discussion forum."

"This competition offers villages and rural communities an opportunity to bring together all the groups in the area and demonstrate what activities it provides for its residents. "
