We are writing to them. The Minister, Deputy Harris, has either written in the last day or two or is about to write to each TU to get them to tell us what their requirements are in the medium to long term. As members know, an exercise was carried out last year whereby €1 million was provided across all the TUs to help them to do a proper assessment of what their medium to long-term requirements are, and also to give the landscape as to what they have available currently. We are writing to them and asking them to come back to us with their proposals, and we will then view each of the proposals in terms of how we are going to apply capital to those over the coming years. It could be capital funding, public private partnership or a number of other avenues that will fund these.
