Ms Joan Curry:

I will answer the first question and ask the Secretary General to reply to the second. From a finance perspective, we track the expenditure as it progresses month-by-month. In 2020 we had a larger than normal return to the Exchequer. We also had a capital carryover. We certainly reserved funds within the legislative parameters in order to fund projects in 2021. It is always the ambition of the Department to progress projects and spend the funds that are made available to it. We make every effort and this year will be no different.
