Mr. Dermot Ryan:

On the first point about the funding that is being provided, the Deputy will be aware there was a call earlier this year and 31 companies were successful. These 31 companies will be grant aided and are based in 15 different member states, none of which is Ireland, across the five areas for which the European Commission call was launched earlier in the year. Those applications have been approved and, as I said in my opening statement, the grant agreements will be confirmed with the European Commission this month or next month.
