I might take up that point. The one thing I have learned is that the more we give in sports capital funding, the more clubs will ask for. I do not envy the Minister of State's position with a request for €360 million. I would have turned pale if I had seen that. I believe my first programme involved an ask of approximately €150 million. There were approximately €30 million worth of invalid applications, which left €120 million. I thought that was a massive ask. With it being €360 million, I do not know how the Minister of State will square that circle. It will be loaves and fishes, New Testament stuff.
Does he have a breakdown between equipment only and capital within that €360 million?
