-----is allocated more money from other local authorities in which loans were not being drawn down to the same extent. That was done in 2018. We were able to be dynamic in managing that fund. As I stated in reply to a parliamentary question last week, several local authorities used up their allocation for 2018 in spite of being given additional resources. The allocations for 2019 depend on discussions I was to engage in with the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Donohoe. Although officials have been engaging on the matter, unfortunately, my discussions with the Minister were delayed for a couple of reasons and only commenced this week. However, the scheme is open, applications are still being accepted and funding has not run out.
