I thank the Deputy very much. As I said, the reasons I have stated are the reasons the Minister has given. I will certainly forward the issues the Deputy raised directly to the Minister. He does recognise these issues. Any business that is having difficulty registering for the grant should certainly contact their local authority, which has the responsibility for administering this. On the bigger picture, however, I will certainly pass the Deputy's comments to the Minister.
