The funding has gone out to local authorities. In my county of Monaghan, a large amount of the funding that was granted has been spent. The Minister, Deputy Ring, today announced more than €20 million in another tranche of town and village enhancement projects. All of these projects have come in and the money has been allocated. That is more good news for rural Ireland. That investment is important, which the Deputy appreciates.

As far as I am concerned, I am satisfied as we sit here that there will be no significant underspend in my budget for this year.
