I have one or two questions on what the Minister brought before us today. First, he might clarify that his initial Estimate was €8 million for what was to be paid out under the scheme over the year. No more than what the Minister stated about the Leader programme, is it the case that the drawdowns of previous years came into effect in the past year and, as a result, there was an outlay of €16 million, €8 million of which is due back in the next calendar year relating to this year? Is it mainly an accountancy exercise?
