Mr. Shaun Quinn:
On the question in respect of the fund that we have with the local authorities and IPB Insurance, that is an initiative to build on the success of The Gathering. Many communities did fantastic work in 2013 and because it was so successful it would be wrong for it to end completely. Fáilte Ireland is putting funding into the initiative but it is being run by the local authorities around the country. The money is used for funding communities and groups who will try to continue to organise The Gathering type events over the next three years. It is trying to build on the legacy.
