Eoghan Murphy (Dublin Bay South, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

My understanding is that the scheme was originally in the proposals for funding but, within the period in which it was there to be progressed, it was not progressed and, therefore, did not make it into a subsequent programme for funding and development. Again, this was all before my time but that is my understanding. I wonder if it is the Deputy's understanding that it was in an initial funding programme but was not progressed in that time and, therefore, fell out of that. My understanding is also that it was understood in 2015 that we were not proceeding with this scheme, that the members of the scheme were aware of this and that it was wound down subsequently. I would be interested to know if the Deputy agrees that was the case in 2015.
