In terms of delivering on a budget of €150 million, did Fáilte Ireland have to surrender some of that in regard to the completion of projects that did not go ahead? Is that something Mr. Ó Lionáin can talk to in terms of trying to deliver through local authorities or other agencies to try to get that specific strategic partnership? I am sure there is difficulty at present in regard to getting projects started, with cost inflation and building inflation, but we are running big surpluses as a Government. Is this something we can look at? Perhaps Mr. Ó Lionáin can talk about the additional funding being made available for these once-off projects to ensure we have visitor experiences across all regions.
