Mr. Paul McCusker:
Yes. It is a question of having a seven-county structure in place with certainty. We would hate to arrive in and promise things we cannot deliver. We would not like to say we will run courses only for those courses not to materialise because of factors within our control. That is the reality of the €200,000. Basically, it costs €100,000 a year to run this programme over seven counties and deal with the demand. We do not know what the demand is because no one else is offering this. We estimate, based on the figures in Donegal, that between 600 and 800 young people would come through.
