I thank the witnesses for the presentation and their time this morning. Mr. Murphy is not a politician, but when we politicians hear that money is unspent our ears perk up. We wonder what is happening to the money that is unspent and might be sitting there. Could it be repurposed? Is it ringfenced to ensure that it can be spent on what it was designated for? Will it eventually get drawn down? How much of that unspent money is Irish, is designated for Ireland, and which has not been drawn down and is unspent? Is that a fair question?
