I propose to take Questions Nos. 31 and 46 together.
€30m is available to me to allocate to successful applicants under the 2012 round of the Sports Capital Programme. I recently announced almost €26m in provisional allocations for local projects under the 2012 SCP and will shortly be announcing a further €4m in provisional allocations in respect of non-local projects.
