I welcome the witnesses and thank them for all they have done in an ever-changing environment on the back of Covid.
I will focus on the 2019 Supplementary Estimates. In the report, the gross Estimates were €67 billion for 2019 and there was a Supplementary Estimate of €640 million. Can the witnesses take me through the decision-making process on that? I understand it is based on policy, overrun, timing and technical data.
There were 13 Supplementary Estimates and four technical Supplementary Estimates. One of them was the Christmas bonus allocation of €279 million. The figure for health was €335 million. Can the witnesses provide some detail on the health aspect of the figures?
