The schemes the Minister mentioned were not closed in 2009. I was Minister at the time and when he checks the record, he will find that is not true and that there were budget commitments in 2010 and 2011. The money was made available by us. Is it correct that the Minister was Minister of State with responsibility for rural and regional development?
