Mr. Paul O'Toole:
We work proactively during the year with every ETB to ensure they can fund the programmes they intend to do. We would be constantly fine-tuning. As we move forward and improve our planning processes, we would try to ensure that, as close as possible, the available funding from the taxpayer is deployed. It is pretty close at the moment but we do not hand it back just for the sake of it. We want to spend the money in the right way. We must, however, work it within the rules that apply across the board.
