Ms Mary Hurley:
We raised the limit to €500,000 some time ago, which is making a difference at local level. Many of the projects which are brought forward come back to the council bringing them forward. It is possible to bring forward projects up to €500,000 under that scheme. If they do not fit that scheme, they fit the rural regeneration scheme. We can set that out in the note we have, including the criteria and issues. That is no problem.
