That is fine. The money is going in and the area has been underperforming. There has been significant difficulty.
My last question on the matter relates to the licences. I raised this with officials from the Department. I expect there are not many TDs in the House who have not raised it at some point. There were huge problems with that and it is urgent that we address it. What is the average timeline for applications for felling licences to be processed? That was a big problem in my area.
