Ms Campbell gave the committee figures on the multi-annual financial framework, MFF, the PEACE programme and the Border, midlands and west, BMW, funding, all of which are positive figures. There is the Leader programme and so on as well. There are particular areas where there is economic disadvantage and there is social infrastructure funding available under these programmes. I raised this matter previously with the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Howlin. He mentioned that it was a possibility during the negotiations to bring in some funding for urban areas under the social infrastructure element. Was that dealt with at any stage in the process?
