My understanding of the purpose of this session, therefore, is different. In the various tables provided, there are identified shortfalls compared with the figures in the comprehensive review of expenditure of €19 million. Were we to continue next year as we are this year and given the ceiling set for next year, the shortfall will be €19 million. Is that distributed across the various Votes? For example, the tables show shared services miss that target by 69%. The Minister has allocated the €19 million across the Votes. Why are they allocated like that?
