They are really about what Ms Murtagh and Mr. Connolly spoke about. Right is one thing but what would innovation look like in regard to dealing with the co-financing issue? What pot would there be? How exactly do they think that would work? I understand that we need to facilitate scaling up as much as possible. Anybody who has ever had to deal with the SEUPB or LEADER knows that European funding can be an absolute nightmare. That is not to take away from the good work and people who have gone above and beyond to facilitate others, but it is only the committed that can avail of it. Sometimes it takes a huge level of skill sets. That is something that needs to be addressed. I accept that we cannot just hand out money to myself and Deputy Howlin and that nobody would ever account for it but there has to be a structure and it must be a workable roadmap. Could the witnesses reply in the next couple of minutes before I have to run into the Chamber and speak?
