Seán Fleming (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I will be brief. I thank the Deputy for his comments. He mentioned the work through trusted partners. I appreciate his positive comments on our embassy and diplomatic staff.

On the funding, I can assure the Deputy that in respect of everything that is cleared at this Estimates meeting and cleared hopefully by the Dáil tonight, the cheques will go out in the morning. They are sitting waiting for this meeting to allow us to release the funds. We are up to speed. Tomorrow the chequebook will be taken out or the credit transfer process will begin. Everything is ready to move from tomorrow morning after the Oireachtas clears this payment.
