I am sorry. The €7 million was referred to in the Minister statement and I thought this related to active travel. Perhaps it is related to climate measures instead. It was actually climate mitigation that was referred to, but I do not have a copy of the Minister's statement. I ask him to elaborate on what is being done in respect of resources for local authorities. I am conscious of situations, and using the analogy of active travel, where money is given to local authorities but then some of that money is being returned nearly as fast to the Minister's Department.

Turning to group schemes, where several tenants are on such a group scheme, what is being done to relieve the pressure on them under the current measures? In addition, and similar to the point made regarding the Traveller community, what can be done for people living in situations where they need assistance and they may be on a shared meter in multi-unit developments?
