If we can we get a rough idea it would be helpful. Can the committee also get a rough idea of how the case that was made? If the Minister argued for the money he must have had a case and the Department must have audited the needs. I welcome that fact that the money will be there. We are not having a row about it but we do need to know what we require to get up to a point where we have universal accessibility. Why would we reinvent the wheel in duplicating the work that has already been done? It would be very useful to know what the Minister looked for, what he got, what still has to be done and roughly how much is to be spent in each category.
