Mr. Robert Watt:
It would be a useful exercise - and we can provide this for the committee - to look back at the difference between the Estimates announced on budget day and the Revised Estimates set out six or seven weeks later. We made an adjustment of €50 million to the Revised Estimate this year compared to the Estimate on budget day, which is marginal in the context of €60 billion of gross expenditure.
