Deputy Minister, the community fund has been vital in the development of a number of community facilities in my constituency, areas such as Ely Valley Miners, restoring that into a useful sports park for the local community, and many other projects as well. We've now, of course, had communities that have been devastated by flooding, including many of our community facilities as well, community areas, community resources and so on. And I wonder if there is any possibility of looking at the CFAP funding system to see whether there is sufficient flexibility to enable those community facilities in the flood-hit areas to be supported through the fund as quickly as possible, if that can be arranged, in order to assist with, not just the devastation to people's homes, but also the devastation that has occurred to their communities and their community facilities as a result of the recent flooding.
