Mr. Micheál McGovern:

In answer to Deputy Penrose, it is traditional that the payment of moneys comes through around the back end of the year. That has happened for the past number of years. There is a mechanism within the PO scheme whereby three to four payments per annum could be made and we would welcome that happening in the near future. It has not happened to date. We are still waiting on our 2015 payment and we urge the Government to make it as soon as possible to stop the haemorrhage.
