I do not think there would be any shortage of projects if people understand there is cash available to support them. I would hope to see that happen. When I looked at those figures I was genuinely surprised that the funding is quite disproportionate. It involves very small amounts of money and very small numbers of companies in areas that it could be argued need a little bit of help, and in that respect I would agree with the Minister, Deputy Humphreys. It is good to know the Tánaiste is open to it.
With regard to the working group that is reviewing collective bargaining, as I do not have the time to vocalise all the views I have on this subject, I will not do so. I will await the report. The Tánaiste indicated an interim report would be issued and the deadline would be shortly thereafter. Could he be more specific on that than it being shortly thereafter?
