Mr. Tom Hayes:

I do not know the exact percentages, but there was a significant number. I will get the numbers for the Deputy. There were over 1,000 applications throughout the country. This was whittled down and 93 of the 1,000 received a form of financial support. From my recollection, the relevant proportion pertaining to the 24 finalists is roughly one third. I can easily get the Deputy the breakdown for the 24.
