On the Brexit loans, members will be aware that in October 2017, we had an allocation for our 2018 budget, which was drawn down in 2018. The benefit of that is in the loan scheme launched last week. People will apply to the Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland, SBCI, to get approval as qualified to apply for the loan - which means that the applicant is Brexit-impacted as a primary producer - and for the proposed works. The applicant then goes with that to the approved pillar banks.
