That overall figure is stratospheric by comparison with what we have previously had. Previous provisions have been of the order of €30 million or €40 million and sometimes it was doubled up with two years' budget for an allocation. Even with that, the Minister of State will have a massive shortfall. It was fantastic to have that exceptional amount in the latest round. How much is needed to manage expectations for the next round? I have never seen anything like that €360 million ask, which is an enormous amount. What is the best we can realistically hope for? I know the Minister of State will not give me a figure.
