The disbursement of Enterprise Ireland funds is very important given that local government is outside of the audit of Comptroller and Auditor General. The Chairman made a very good point about having a forensic audit trail for the local authorities. Regarding the €30 million budget, who determines the requirement for an increased allocation in light of the necessity for start-up companies in this very critical area which I feel should be increased?

Who will make the case to local government for an increased allocation in light of the results of the audit?
