Profile is important because it is what we predicted. We continue to predict that the allocation will be fully spent. We have reached 80% of profile. This level of expenditure is what we expected by now so we believe we are on track. The bills are coming in. Almost €4 million has been spent under the built heritage investment scheme, BHI, and the structures at risk funds. Bullet payments are made in October and November. Work on 431 projects is ongoing during the year. That may help clarify the position. We will spend the full allocation. Sometimes the bills come in at the end of the year. Apologies, I indicated we had reached 80% of profile when I should have said 90%.
