I certainly brought that suggestion to the table in recent weeks. The former Taoiseach, Deputy Enda Kenny, allocated €1 million to the WDC for capital expenditure that it was not able to spend. The commission got legal advice that under its remit and establishment Act, it was not able to spend capital. I have read through the Act and do not see where that is specified but that is the advice the commission was given.
