I refer to funding. The county's concern about the financial package has been well made. Several amendments were proposed earlier setting out a timeline on this. Is the Minister of State satisfied that the timing of the financial agreement review is not too soon that the county would be left exposed? It was envisaged originally that it would last for up to ten years but then there were proposals that it would be shortened to three to five years.

Finally, I refer to the fine-tuning of the line where it runs through the middle of fields, in Ballinore, for example. There should be more realistic boundaries that would run along the edges of fields and other natural boundaries. Does an opportunity remain for locals to put forward realistic changes so that the boundary would be fine-tuned in such a way?
