I would have not problem having a report on that but I am giving my commitment that this money will be spent and that local authorities will have to honour their responsibilities here across the board because some are not. That is not acceptable. It is an issue that has to be dealt with across the board. Increasing the funding was a key step to be able to say that there is increased spending, now let us get it spent. It was an area where funding was cut, like every other Department. Money was cut there and we are trying to bring it back up.

I think I have answered most of the Senator's questions. If I have missed anything, it was not on purpose and I will come back to it.

Has Senator Davitt gone wandering?
