I will answer the first part of the Deputy's question and I might then ask him to clarify the second part. On the criteria under which funding could be accessed, the terminology they use is "severe economic shocks" or natural disasters. It would be up to us to be able to define what they are. I have proposed that this should be a Cabinet decision but also that it should be subject to debate in the Dáil.

The Deputy might talk me through his second question again so I can answer accurately.
