As I said at the time, we looked at them all. I cannot give the Deputy a commitment now. I would love to be able to say "Yes". We will keep it under review and we will see what appears towards the end of the year. Sometimes projects do not go ahead as quickly as possible. All the time we want to get the money spent and where it is needed in the communities. Obviously, we will keep it under review.

There is a commitment in the programme for Government to a transition programme for LEADER. It will have to continue to deliver the remainder of the programme. I expect that it will be next year that we will need to look at that specific commitment in the programme for Government to provide a transition programme.
