That is a lot of the logic of the stability fund and why we were looking for that extra €10 million we got yesterday. That is one of the core reasons for the stability fund. It is a huge problem for the sector. There are also other funds out there the charity sector can tap into. I have spoken to the Minister, Deputy Harris, about this with regard to his remit. We are willing to support training in the community voluntary sector for online fundraising. That is an untapped area where there is huge potential for the sector. Many have lost funding because they have not been able to get out and about in the same way they would have done previously. There is still money out there for charities to access, and especially in the online side. We are trying to encourage that also. I take Deputy Donnelly's point absolutely.
