If you would, please. I want to turn quickly to Galway 2020 and the amount of sponsorship. It was anticipated that there would have been more sponsorship than there was. At what point did the Department realise that it would go beyond the 50% expenditure that was committed? Indeed, when one starts adding in the contributions of the local authorities, it was not far off an 80% spend. At what point did the Department realise that there would not be the anticipated sponsorship and that there was not the local commercial commitment?
