Mr. Tony O'Brien:

Deputy McDonald’s comments are correct. The terms are not very much linked in the public mind. However, in Vote terms, following the granting of a Supplementary Estimate at the end of the relevant financial year the amount of cash-on-hand at the closing date was in excess of the requirements of the service at that point in time. The requirement is to return the surplus.
