I have just told the Deputy that we got that funding in 2012. Microfinance Ireland leverages funding also - €50 million from the banks. There was €25 million in funding altogether. We have been using that funding since.

I support the continuation of the scheme. We will seek funding of €10 million in 2017 to secure the future of MFI.
