As I am not in the business of counting chickens before they are hatched, I am not going to engage in speculation about how money that has not been secured in budget 2018 may be spent. That is a debate I am sure we will have on another day should we succeed in securing the funding. I appreciate the Deputy's anxiety and support to make up some of the funding cut by Fianna Fáil in 2008.
