We very much dispute how much the Government ever said it would spend on GLAS. I have been holding the Minister to account for the promise to spend €1.4 billion on it. The Minister has been indicating that it is currently €160 million overspent and I am pointing out that the Minister's presentation today indicates that he took €70 million away from GLAS to fund the Burren scheme and EIP. While those are obviously good schemes, the stated €160 million overspend fails to account for the fact that the Minister took €70 million away.
