I will. The spending on this is €225 million for 2020. There is obviously a reduction there because of Covid but it is working out at around €250 per year. I just want a brief answer. What are the implications of the announcement it is going to be free? Were the officials aware of this before the announcement? Is the Department going to be able to be successful enough with its submission to make up that shortfall? Just a brief answer to that please.
