My experience of seeking EU funds includes seeking funds under the LEADER programme, for example. Exactly as Ms Hanlon says, money is given to the LEADER group and money comes back from the European Union when claims are made every quarter or six months. One then has at the bottom of the Estimate appropriations-in-aid. I could have received appropriations-in-aid, but there were other things thrown in which were not EU moneys and I could not desegregate them. Surely all of the EU payments came back into the Department as appropriations-in-aid.
