We have taken the full capital carryover that is available and that has been agreed. The Deputy will have seen from the briefing he got that we were able to reallocate funds from capital to current to help with what the Minister of State, Deputy Peter Burke, raised earlier about funding our local authorities through Covid. In the context of the budget, there was a minute surrender of in the region of €19 million. That is on the total Vote. It is very small. We expended what we said we would, though not in all the places we wanted because we had the construction shutdown and were impacted on delivery. We reallocated in that space, particularly in voids. We looked at activating existing properties and getting them back in. It was a minute surrender, if that is the question the Deputy is asking, in the context of the overall Vote.
