How much of that has been allocated but not spent? Once one allocates money to a project, one has to keep money, aside from the reserve, for that as well. How much loose money is in it? I presume there is not €211 million. Does the Minister of State understand what I am saying? The Minister of State said there was €312 million, with €101 in the reserve. That is a statutory reserve. That is gone. There is €211 million left. Of the €211 million, presumably there are projects that have been approved for which the Minister of State must make contingent provision when they spend. That should leave a net figure of what the Minister of State still could allocate and be covered.
