I know, but over-funding them means there is €6 million caught up in the system that could be used elsewhere. That is the estimate, and it is significant. It is not the Department, but Pobal is involved with our day-care centre. The bereavement grant for those in need of counselling was removed during Covid. If we were not tying up this money, it could be used elsewhere. The following year the grant may or may not have been returned.
