Super. Thank you.

In addition, there seems to be a €5 million decrease in rural capital on 2024 in terms of the rural development LEADER programme. That is very worrying in light of what is happening in rural Ireland and in light of the administrative and governance costs on the LEADER companies. There seems to be a 5% drop in the community enhancement fund as well, if I am reading it right, so I query that. While I welcome the additional moneys towards CLÁR, will some of that money go towards a reform or a review of the CLÁR programme? I think it is depending on very old data sets in terms of levels of deprivation in rural communities that might not stand up, and there might be a need to review that.
