Exactly. I am sure what the OPW does under current expenditure could be considered capital expenditure by another Department. Previously, in the Department of Health we saw the HSE dipping into its capital budget to balance its current budget. Is the Minister satisfied that those definitions are sufficiently strong and correct? He has the blue book, but what I am asking is what is the sanction for those breaking such definitions?
