Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:
At the end of April, Department of Social Protection expenditure was approximately €5.5 million above profile. In one sense this is because of particular issues which arise in payments. Today is 1 May and Monday will be a bank holiday, so single euro payments area, SEPA, payments had to be made in advance.
