Mr. John McCarthy:
I think there was a saving of €44 million in the Leader programme in 2012. Of the total capital savings in 2012, €43 million was carried forward into 2013. The implication of the underspend of Leader funds is not that the overall value of the programme is being jeopardised.
It just means it is moving on from 2013 into 2014 and there will be some further spending in 2015 to complete the programme.
