During Covid, we were all hoping it would be over within three months. None of us think that is going to happen with the current Ukrainian crisis and the cost-of-living crisis. I want to stay with the idea of uncertainty, particularly in my questions to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. In terms of budgetary costings, considering how volatile the situation is at the moment, what does that mean for costings or estimates and how is the Department operating in terms of a methodology to build that into its systems? I presume that is very challenging.
