I want to go through one or two items to flesh the matter out a little. In the Department of Justice and Equality the largest underspend occurred in 2015 on the Garda youth diversion project, which is a very worthwhile programme within the Garda. For this project there was an allocation of just under €500 million - sorry, it was €500,000. I wish it were €500 million. There was a delay in implementing the programme. Has that been addressed at this stage? What were the implementation delays referred to by the Accounting Officer?
