I think I can read between the lines on that one. Mr. McGuinness mentioned the co-funding issue. For a lot of projects one would look to the county councils to get co-funding. When we meet with county councils or local authorities we find that their discretionary funding has also been heavily curtailed. The amount of money they may have had to spend on co-financing projects previously is also drying up. In a lot of cases one finds that there is a budget allocated nationally but that the boxes cannot be ticked because co-funding cannot be secured. Has Mr. McGuinness also found that it is very difficult to fulfil those co-funding requirements?
