Dr. Fergal Lynch:

This is a transitional year and we are hoping that, probably from the middle of next year, we will move completely to the new scheme and will operate on that basis. There is a learning curve for the ETBs and their capacity to do this and indeed for the youth organisations. The youth organisations will be getting used to a very different system of applications and a very different basis for seeking funding for the future. It is a much more transparent and better system than what we have at the moment.
