Why is that figure not part of the Supplementary Estimate? Normally if ANAs come up short, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform asks for them to be taken out of the Vote. However, the Minister seems to be getting money to make up the shortfall for the ANAs and I am a little surprised not to see it included in the published Supplementary Estimate. There was no note in it stating there would be another €39 million in net expenditure at the end of the year. That is a very relevant point.
