Mr. Derek Moran:

We have discussed this at other fora and in other committee rooms. Fiscal space is a point-in-time calculation. It is a case of data comes in and a figure comes out at the far end. There were changes between the SES last year and what happened on budget day. They are all explicable for a range of changes within that. If the Deputy is asking me whether there is a heap of hidden money, my answer would be "No". I do not know whether Mr. McCarthy wishes to elaborate.
