The electricity credit scheme function has been transferred to another Department, so that has reduced the allocation. On the money we have left in 2025, we are now halfway through the year. Has the uptake, with regard to the balance of money available, been good? By the end of 2025, will the full allocation for the fisheries sector have been spent, as opposed to money being handed back to the Exchequer? As a member of a local authority previously, the bane of my life was money being handed back at the end of the year or hearing stories of an underspend in a particular sector. As we know, the fisheries sector is under pressure. I would not like to think that at the end of the year any money will have to be returned to the Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation or the Minister because we had not spent it in the fisheries and maritime sector.
