I welcome the witnesses from the Department and Pobal. I have had some interaction with Pobal over the years as chairperson of Treo Nua in Portlaoise, with which are guests will be familiar. My experience has largely been positive. In respect of funding through local authorities, what is the total annual amount that went from the Department to local authorities in 2021 or 2022? I am looking for the total amount. I have been looking at the figures in the briefing documents and trying to extrapolate. Under the different schemes, what is the total figure?
