I propose to take Questions Nos. 118 to 120, inclusive, together.

The awarding of funding to companies by Enterprise Ireland is a day to day matter for the Agency and one in which I have no function. There are processes in place to ensure value for money from the State's perspective including the contribution of the project to the Irish economy and to export growth. Conditions of offer to client companies contain specific targets and milestones, and grant drawdown will only occur when these conditions are met. Additionally, offers of support from Enterprise Ireland to each client company is a confidential matter and will vary depending on the type of support being sought.
