The answer is simple. There was another allocation to road safety in this budget. All the programmes have spent their budget. There was an over-allocation. They did not feel it warranted the use of that allocation this year and it was not used. Having said that, the Road Safety Authority, with which we work very closely, is looking at variations in terms of its future programmes and should extra expenditure be required that will be provided for. In this case there was no impact whatsoever on road safety campaigns or work as a result of the transfer of this money into this fund.
