I thank the Minister for her clear and concise explanation of the need for the Supplementary Estimate. It is extremely logical. By and large, the Supplementary Estimate arises as a result of the changes in numbers.

I have one question for the Minister on the cost of administration which it appears will come in at around 2.5% less than that provided for in the Estimate. Is this linked with savings in the Department under the Croke Park agreement?
