Financing Rural Regeneration in Wicklow
One method of rural regeneration involves the financing of businesses in rural areas with outside assistance, which would not have succeeded independently and were encouraged through various government sponsored initiatives to regenerate declining rural economies. Grant aid would be the most utilised source of funding. Many of these enterprises that would have been set up by private individual entrepreneurs would be partly financed by owner’s equity as a condition of grant aid. Within this context of outside assisted enterprises, other sources of finance, subject to the terms of grant aid such as leasing of plant or hire purchase arrangements for vehicles would also be utilised.

Attitudes On The Creation Of A Methadone Clinic In Arklow
The forthcoming opening of a methadone treatment clinic in Arklow has refocused attention on the controversy which has surrounded this issue for some time. When the proposal to open a centre some years ago emerged, two opposing groups appeared on the scene. One group favoured the clinic and another group opposing it. The advocates seemed community conscious and progressive, supporting the rights of the addict striving for recovery and a return to society. That group also felt that these clinics would eventually be accepted as local people realised their fears were unfounded. Their methods in putting their point of view across seemed reasoned and calm. They asserted that the facility would have a placid effect on addicts as they were weaned off heroin and that the results would be evidenced by a reduction in crime and the attendant nuisance affect on society. They also claimed that the treatment of addicts in their own areas would reduce the risks associated with drawing large numbers of addicts into central areas, whereby each area would deal with its own problems. These lower numbers would result in a reduced visibility of addicts in local areas.
