I presume the Deputy is referring the recent announcement by my colleague, Micheál Martin TD, Minister for Enterprise, Trade & Employment at the publication of Enterprise Ireland's Annual Report. As the €175 million Seed and Venture Capital Fund is being administered by Enterprise Ireland, which is under the remit of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, the Deputy will appreciate that the allocation of this funding is a matter for my colleague, Micheál Martin TD.
