I welcome the witnesses. It is good to engage with them again. There are a number of items they have highlighted and about which the committee has asked to speak to them, and in my limited time I would like to focus on the appropriation accounts, specifically Vote 11. In note 6.2, there is a heading on EU funding and it goes on to outline the outturn for 2022 against the Estimate. Within that, there are structural funds, technical assistance and other costs, and special EU programmes bodies North and South programmes, about which I will ask in a moment. Does that heading detail infrastructure as well or is it purely programmes that are part-funded or contributed towards, such as EU programmes?
