Ms Caroline Timmons:

That specific case was brought to our attention in recent weeks. I have asked the unit to look into what has happened. To my knowledge, the full allocation was not drawn down by Louth County Council last year. We are open to that. The council applied to us in respect of the case the Deputy raised. I cannot say what will happen, as the application has to be examined, but I have asked the team to look at it.
