Éamon Ó Cuív: That is not the point. I am not asking the Department to interfere with schedules or timetables.

Éamon Ó Cuív: One day I asked the Department what I thought was a simple question.

Éamon Ó Cuív: My experience of seeking EU funds includes seeking funds under the LEADER programme, for example. Exactly as Ms Hanlon says, money is given to the LEADER group and money comes back from the European Union when claims are made every quarter or six months. One then has at the bottom of the Estimate appropriations-in-aid. I could have received appropriations-in-aid, but there were other...
