I apologise for being late and I thank the witnesses for their submissions. Mr. Parlon and Mr. Doheny mentioned in their submission the lack of available finance at competitive rates. That is something we heard last year and a commitment was made in the budget which has yet to be rolled out on the ground. Is the CIF any closer to accessing that funding following its deliberations with the Department? Some €750 million was announced in the budget but it has not come to fruition.
