Mr. David Moloney:
To my knowledge, only one Department is significantly over profile and that is the Department of Education. Departments have faced significant challenges this year and last year, first, because of Covid-19 and then due to supply chain disruption related to the war in Ukraine. There have been considerable challenges, particularly in rolling out new programmes. As the Deputy will be aware, the national development plan represents a considerable uplift in our capital ambitions. There is a certain amount of catch-up in the face of Covid-19, supply chain disruption and, as the Deputy said, inflation.
