Government's urban redevelopment plan "a major slap in the face" for Waterford

The Government's €2bn urban redevelopment plan has been labelled "a major slap in the face" for key areas outside of Dublin after Waterford city received just €6m in funds to rejuvenate the area.

Fianna Fáil made the claim despite Taoiseach Leo Varadkar insisting the funding war chest is for the whole of the country and is intended to ensure regional cities grow twice as fast as the capital.
