I absolutely understand. My Department and I are available to assist the committee in its work in any way we can. I will ask Mr. Moloney to organise that we write to the committee immediately on the national recovery and resilience plan. The Government is required to submit a plan to the European Commission by the end of April. I would value the committee's input. We will ensure that that process is put in train immediately so that the committee's voice can be heard. On an offline basis, members of the committee can contact me or my office at any time. We will provide whatever information or assistance we can. My officials are at members' disposal. I will arrange for a letter to issue to the committee, which can let us know its views on the national recovery and resilience plan which is so important to us. A total of €853 million in grants is coming our way this year and next year, with an emphasis on climate action measures and digitalisation. In respect of the Brexit adjustment reserve there is just over €1 billion which will be very important for the fisheries sector and other enterprise sectors.
