Ms Brenda McVeigh:
I cannot comment too much on 2016 but on 2017. I would say that this is a chicken and egg situation. One needs to have resources in order to spend them. One must go through all sorts of processes to recruit and procure. Those processes take time. If one does not get through a process in time then one is not going to spend the money, and that is why it is sent back.
