Ms Claire Feeney:
The allocations normally depend on the funding. With all of the current schemes, because the funding is coming through the local authority, the local authority has 100% allocation rights. There was a time where if something was delivered through, say, fundraising, the local authority would not have had any say regarding the allocation. In addition, there was a period where, depending on the type of capital assistance scheme, it could be a ratio of 75:25.
