Mr. Tom Murray:

On the point about the SBCI, the evidence I have obviously relates to Border areas because Border Communities Against Brexit exists on both sides of the Border. The evidence we have is certainly regional-based. I cannot comment on the national picture. I have personal experience of applying for the SBCI and being told the funds were exhausted. My experience in Donegal is that it was exhausted, but I was led to believe that the financial institutions involved were talking about their national pictures. They did not tell me there was a regional fund for each section, area or province; it was that the SBCI funds had been exhausted.
