Provision has been made for the increase as a result of the negotiations towards the end of last year. It is built into our budget. I do not expect to come back on that. There was an agreement with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and that is included. There are technical adjustments needed to deal with that but the answer to the Deputy's question is that this is the allocation and we are not expecting to have to come back. There will be savings under various subheads as there always are. There will be a mid-year review on technical adjustments so we have the income stream to deal with the expected and planned increases in the Garda pay budget.
