Is there money clearly earmarked for it for next year? We recently went through a budget and Estimates process. Either money is allocated to it for next year or it is not. Everything was earmarked. Next year, the Minister might find savings somewhere else or take money from another area. However, all the money is currently allocated to something. Has money been allocated for a summer works scheme next year? This is not just buttons; it is €37 million.
