I can remember at the time the press releases would have stated that this was an ingenious way of covering the first or the last mile.

I have never seen a letter from the ESB, as it was then, offering a service that showed any pathway to spending that money. I want to know how that €16.6 million was spent.

I will let Mr. Griffin come back to us.
