The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage will have looked at that in respect of some of the urban regeneration projects. Local authorities have stated they were granted €14 million, for example, but, in fact, it will now take €20 million to deliver a project. A scheme is now in place where the State meets 70% of that extra cost and local authorities will have to come up with 30% themselves. The State is carrying the greatest piece in terms of inflation. Is that where the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport and Media is at in trying to resolve those kinds of difficulties?
