I mentioned groups that got funding 12 months ago but that have not even turned the shovel yet. What is the follow-through? Why are legitimate groups that have a shovel-ready project or that could turn the shovel within a month not getting funding while those that indicated they were shovel ready but that are no longer shovel ready are getting funding? Is the money taken back from the latter and given to the groups that are ready to go?

Ms Rooney mentioned that any project that has been refused to date has not had a successful application further down the line. Did I pick her up incorrectly?
