Mr. Pat Colgan:

The system back then involved open calls for proposals, which the implementing agents would have published and advertised. They would have received a number of applications for funding in response to that. Under the particular measure for which Bytel was successful, an additional six projects would have applied and been rejected. They would not have been successful in their applications. This project would have come in along with the other applications, it would have gone through an assessment and evaluation process and a recommendation would have been made to the steering committee. As the Deputy has rightly said, the first steering committee that met deferred the application pending the receipt of further information. Technically, it had been rejected first time around. They were invited to come back with additional information and with additional clarification around issues. This is what got it over the line the next time around.
