He would have found that, for one reason or another, even after two or three years some bodies did not spend all the money. As he quite rightly pointed out, even local authorities did not spend all of the RAPID money when I was in the Department in 2010. If the Minister is going to spend €250 million under the Leader programme, would he accept that he should allow for sanctioning, disregard the administration money and add at least 10% more than the allocation if he wants a full spend? This is real life we are dealing with here.
