Mr. Hubert Loftus:

Just to clarify for the Deputy, we came up with the explanation that it was a result of the budget cuts that were required in order for the Department to manage within its overall expenditure limits, going back to the troika years and things like that. Each ETB, as I explained earlier this morning, would have a set expenditure limit. It is for the ETB to manage its provision within that and that may create a certain level of deficit within certain areas. Obviously ETBs are encouraged to manage as much as possible within their own allocation.
