The Minister has €31 million for that and he is spreading it across three broad categories. They include smaller estates and estates where a solution would also provide a solution for the wider village and community. Has he made a decision on how he will distribute the €31 million across the three categories?

Would the Minister of State accept that, if he is spends some of it on measures that will benefit the wider community, more people will benefit from it? Undeveloped zoned ground for which planning permission has already been granted can also be brought into play. He can kill two birds with one stone and deal with unfinished estates while bringing zoned ground into consideration. Has he decided how he is going to spend that €30 million across those categories? Could he prioritise one category over another? Has he thought about this? Would he consider it? Could schemes that have already undergone assessment not be allowed to get on with their business rather than being held back while everybody else is assessed?
