The Deputy is right that some do not. I am just providing examples of where people came together and saw what they needed to do. In fairness, I have yet to see a good project refused funding. Ideas were put together, applications were made and we were able to support them. I want to see more of that. Again, it is about working on a collaborative basis. I have great faith in local authorities because they know what is happening on the ground and can work with local communities, identify the priorities and submit the applications to central Government.
