Yes. I will take the questions in reverse order, if that is okay with the Deputy. She asked about a €700,000 carry-over on the islands capital side. That will be spent. Much of it is being spent at present. The councils make applications and work ranges from piers to roads to small minor works and so on.

It is in the process of being spent.

The second question was about post offices and there is a commitment from An Post that if post offices close in a Gaeltacht, the services as Gaeilge will be provided in the next nearest post office. This is relevant to Deputy Healy-Rae's constituency. I am happy to follow up on that.
