I understand the joint initiative as a value and a goal in terms of the organisation. It seems extraordinary to have €2 million or so sitting in a bank account every year waiting and not being utilised, however. Having lived in Belfast for five years, I must say, when one is dealing with things like the peace walls, we have never needed it more and there is a lot one could do with that money. While I understand the intention, is waiting for the partner funding the best option? Does that not curtail the good work that money could do?
