What has happened is that it seems a number of businesses made a mistake when they applied for the ICOB 1 grant. Due to that, some of them did not follow up for the second ICOB. When they went for the third grant, even though they were eligible for the power up grant, because they made a mistake at the start, they did not get it. Is there any chance the Minister will reopen that grant for people who qualified for it but made an initial mistake? I have contacted his office, as has Deputy Louise O'Reilly, who is our spokesperson on this. These are genuine businesses that need that money-----
