Then we found ourselves in a situation in which there was no money left to spend on anything. In my view, what we are doing now is worthwhile. I think it is unprecedented. I think it will help the Irish language as well as culture and heritage. Luckily, after ten years we are in position to do this. We were not in a position to do this before now because of the unrealistic spend we saw over previous decades, including in 2007. That is my view.
