Mr. Niall Burgess:

I will draw the broader context. Through that period, for some of those years when we were not drawing down the funding, which was allocated but not drawn down by the Department of Foreign Affairs for the IFI, we were also scaling up our reconciliation fund programming and we also had funding coming through from European Union sources. I cannot say that the IFI was knocking on the doors for a project that was critically in need of funding that could only be supplied through this route. I am not sure there were opportunities missed there. From our point of view, however, it would not have been helpful to the IFI if it had been in receipt of funding solely from the Irish Government. That is so much outside the kind of framework in which it is operated and that is the reason we did not draw those funds down for the IFI. They were earmarked for the IFI.
