I thank the witnesses for coming before the committee. I wish to a focus on an issue that I brought to the attention of the Committee of Public Accounts and which relates to land at Brooklodge, Glanmire, leased by Cork County Council to the FAI. I want clarification. It is 30 acres of land that has been lying idle for more than ten years. My understanding from the briefing we received is that €2 million in grant support was secured by the association. Was that €2 million drawn down?
