Not for one second do I attribute any blame to the Minister of State, but the answer is basically that Europe is at fault. I do not know whether we did anything about it at European level. Did we engage and explain that how this change was designed would cause us problems or did we just take the new budgetary timeline that we were given? To summarise the reply, it is Europe's fault and do not blame the Department. I thank the Minister of State.
