On that point can the Minister clarify the numbers please? The Department made a saving of €4 million. As Deputy O'Dea said 70 schools participated. There were delays in submitting applications. Some 71 were eligible to participate but have not availed of the programme, and 80 applications were received, where further information is required. Some €53 million is being spent, and the question that Deputy O'Dea was asking was how many schools are within that figure and are benefiting from that scheme.
