As I have been responding to the Deputy's question, my team has provided information on some of the building blocks. Across a number of Departments, €25 million will be required for current expenditure on additional staffing. The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Teagasc and Bord Bia will require €71 million. The Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation will require an additional €14 million. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade will require €5 million. That is just in budget 2019. As the Deputy knows, budget 2018 and budget 2017 also included additional current expenditure. The other big block of funding is the funding that has been put in place for the future growth loan scheme. I will come back to the Deputy with the figure for capital expenditure in the coming days.
