The only reason I am not informed about it in the way the same way as the Deputy is that this area is more formally the responsibility of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform rather than the Department of Finance. When, as Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, I worked with the Deputy, I would have been aware of and would have been dealing with issues like that, but it now sits with the Minister, Deputy Michael McGrath, which is why I cannot give the Deputy a more comprehensive answer. As I have said, I am very happy to look at the report and engage with the Minister, Deputy Michael McGrath, to see if any projects can be put forward for such funding.
