Mr. Paul Benson:
The Deputy will have heard the evidence I gave earlier. The scheme should not be closed. Funding is available. Fingal County Council has drawn down just over 50% of its funding to date. It had a significant carryover into 2025 from 2024. I do not understand why it is not prepared to have a similar carryover into 2026 from 2025. That is the inevitable timeline on acquisitions.
