I just said the Minister, Deputy Varadkar, has indicated he would be willing to consider helping. He has made the point that there would have to be a contribution from Northern Ireland, helping to make up some of the shortfall, however. My understanding is a proposal needs to be put by the two local authorities to the two governments. I realise funding needs to be drawn down as quickly as possible.
