I thank the Minister of State and his officials for attending. I have just a few questions. The first relates to the state aid rules. We know that the scheme is allowed to operate because the rules have been relaxed, but I am curious to know whether we are up to the maximum we can go in respect of that relaxation? Is there scope there? Can we go beyond the 40%? Are we constrained? Is it the case that we have hit the ceiling there or can more be done? If more can be done, the Minister of State might outline where that scope exists.
