Moate's Brian Smyth feels it should go into legacy community infrastructure.
The CEO of Irish Rural Link is demanding a reform of how community benefit funds from renewable energy projects are administered.
Moate's Brian Smyth feels money needs to be more evenly distributed in order to deliver legacy community infrastructure, rather than being a philanthropic move by developers.
IRL is attending the National Economic Dialogue in Dublin Castle today, with this year's theme on future planning for financial security.
Mr Smyth says the investment needs to help those who need it:
