Mr. Tony O'Brien:

It is fair to say that for the national Exchequer and for individual Departments and services, this is something of a game changer. As we construct the service plan, we will have to take a view as to what is the best way to deal with this. Obviously, that will be done in close dialogue with the two Departments and with our Minister. We will have to determine the best way to provide for that eventuality. Logically, if the Estimate we are given for the demand-led heads is over run, we will have to take funds from elsewhere in the system to counter balance that. We have not yet had those detailed discussions because this is the first year of this new fiscal arrangement.
