This Supplementary Estimate is not just the figures that the Minister has presented today. There has been some moving around of budgets too. One relates to capital spending on the national children’s hospital. We know that there has been an underspend of €166 million. We had the children’s hospital board here to address the delays which have happened for various reasons and the underspend. I was told that €100 million of that is being ring-fenced and carried over to next year, but another €66 million has been diverted into other expenditure. Will the Minister tell us where that has gone?
