Certainly, but the Deputy should not forget the Erasmus programme supports skills development, education and training. There is nearly €15 billion in that fund right across Europe. We get some funding from this. I am not too sure about the amount we get but I will most certainly revert to the Deputy on it.

There are also other funds, including the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund, AIMF, and Horizon 2020, which relates to that agenda. I will revert to the Deputy over the next couple of weeks with all the details on all the funding and the particular areas it goes to, in addition to the planned objective for the strategy up to 2020.
