It would be good then to have representatives of the Department of Foreign Affairs come before the committee to allow us to look at the reconciliation fund, the civic fund and the funds that come under their auspices. I recommend the committee take on board this suggestion at some point.

Mention was also made of the local authorities, and I absolutely agree about the potential in this regard. Is that local authority application process closed now? Ms Deane mentioned that 25 proposals have been submitted. Does that shut off entries from any other local authorities that might wish to apply to the scheme?
