That is positive. It might be useful for us to get a detailed note at some stage on the kinds of programmes being supported with this funding. It sounds good but the overall heading of emigrant support programme does not tell us a whole lot. I ask the Minister of State to send us a note at some stage.
I am intrigued by subhead A9, for which I note the Minister of State is not seeking extra funding. The Covid contingency fund of €10 million seems large given that Covid seems to be over. What is that used for?
