Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:
Later this year. The European Commission would not allow us to draw it down until we had the appropriate systems in place. We are in the course of developing those. Perhaps I am not making myself clear. Responsibility for this programme was assigned to the Department last year. We did not have responsibility for it before then, so it is a new area of activity for us.
