I welcome the Minister and his officials. This is all new territory for me. I am learning. Deputy Fleming has been all over this and so has the Chairman in the past. Even the word "savings" usually implies that one has spent what one thought one would spend and one did not have to spend as much as expected. However, what we mean by savings in this context, is non commenced expenditure.
