I thank Mr. Geraghty for that clarification. Regarding my local authority in County Mayo, I raise the issue of the €1.2 million that was repaid in respect of five separate grants. This caused major issues in the communities impacted in the context of these projects. I refer as well to the suspension of funding for additional programmes. In April 2022, for example, €11 million was announced for the LIS for roads nationally, but County Mayo received nothing. There were consequences for many people in this regard. Has the Department carried out an evaluation of the funding announcements that occurred while Mayo County Council was removed from any funding allocations and the impact this had on projects that were submitted? Will these projects be supported in future calls?
