Would it require a statutory instrument or a letter from a Minister to increase it? What would the procedure be to do that? I can understand why the going concern was an issue, given that Bord na gCon is at the limit of its borrowing. If income drops in subsequent years, I can understand how the board could have a difficulty, because it is at the limit of its legal facility to borrow. What arrangement would be necessary if the board required further moneys?
