I stated earlier on that the County and City Management Association, CCMA, and others have been involved in terms of putting in the ask. It will be allocated. We do not leave any county behind. One of the guiding principles of the climate response is that every place matters, every person matters and every local authority matters. Obviously, some, such as Dublin, will have much deeper resource pockets than a smaller county, such as Leitrim or Louth, but we need each of them to play its part. It will be, I expect, proportionate in terms of the scale of investment.
