Mr. Robert Watt:

The Estimates are prepared on budget day. A summary Estimate is set out by the Minister on budget night. Changes are then made. This year there were very modest changes. There are always technical issues as end year positions become clearer. Then, as the Deputy has said, Revised Estimates are set out. The implications for the children's hospital and what it meant for the allocations of Departments were not decided upon by the Government. There was insufficient time for us, because the Government was debating, to recast the Estimates, and they were published because we are always anxious to publish them before the end of the year. We do not publish them the following year. We do not believe it is appropriate to publish the Estimates after the year has begun. We now endeavour to publish them before the end of the year. A decision was taken that we would publish the Estimates. As the Deputy will be aware from his time in government, it is not unusual for the Government to publish its Revised Estimates at a time issues are outstanding that the Government may know might require a revision subsequently. There were cases when the Deputy was a Minister, which I will not go through, when the same thing happened. This is not unusual and I am absolutely confident the Estimate prepared was accurate.

The amount is €100 million, if I understand, with regard to the implications for the health Estimate-----
