I would like to make a point of information. Last week, in reply to a question asked by Deputy Martin about Leader funding, the Taoiseach made the point that 33% of the funding was going on administration. That is not correct. I ask the Taoiseach to correct the record.

Sorry, you will have to find some other way of doing this.

This is very important for rural Ireland.

I know, but you can table a parliamentary question.

The EU regulations state that one cannot spend more than 20% of Leader funding on administration. I would like the Taoiseach to correct the record of the House.

I accept that not all the Leader groups have that high level of administration. The authorities made the point that there was an excessive level of administrative costs involved.

The groups cannot devote more than 20% of their funds to these purposes. The Taoiseach undermined them and misled people. He does this all the time.

No.

It is nasty stuff.
