It is as I have outlined. There are very narrow opportunities to change expenditure ceilings and I am not aware of any event or development which would lead me to have to approve any. I send a clear message to my colleagues in government on a daily basis that they have their money for 2017 and that the Minister for Finance and I expect them to deliver their plans within these figures. The message is well understood in the Cabinet, as has been demonstrated by the fact that expenditure ceilings have been observed, year after year.
