My next question is on the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund, from which €3 million was paid out during the year under review. I understand €2 million was paid out the previous year. How much was paid in 2012? It is stated on page 61 of the accounts that European Globalisation Adjustment Fund receipts in 2011 related to Dell, Waterford Crystal and SR Technics, which was distributed through the relevant County and City Enterprise Boards. Did Enterprise Ireland not deal directly with those companies? Why are small county enterprise boards, some of which have only three staff, dealing with some of the largest companies in the country? I would have thought that was the responsibility of Enterprise Ireland.
