I think that is understood, but it has at least been acknowledged that the figure will exceed the €1.433 billion figure.
Mr. Gunning referred to some drivers of additional costs, such as inflation, healthcare policy changes, technology changes and sectoral employment orders. He mentioned claims defences, the implementation of the Committee of Public Accounts recommendations and costs relating to Covid and Brexit. I assume some of those additional costs have been borne.
