I will make two points on the RAPID programme. I visited Dublin's inner city two weeks ago where I saw money being targeted in an area that needs it. I also saw the results of the targeted funding and I was very happy with them. As the Deputy is aware, a value for money policy review was done on the RAPID programme in 2011. The review recommended that we should no longer use the structures used when Deputy Ó Cuív was the Minister responsible. We had to change the scheme around a bit.
