I will turn to the International Fund for Ireland, IFI. Perhaps it is not for me to call it "significant", but there was an underspend in recent years. The Estimate grant provision to the IFI was €2.6 million but only €200,000 was expended in 2019. Can the witnesses speak to that and elaborate on why that might be the case? For people who do not know what we are talking about, the IFI includes initiatives such as the personal youth development and the peace impact programme across the island.
