Ms Mary Hurley:

It was. There were applications for 37 premises, and 29 were delivered. It was a condition that the funding had to be drawn down and the property purchased within the calendar year. Some 29 were secured and purchased at a cost of €6 million. We have just opened that scheme again. It is a really good scheme.
