Which we have only got sight of. According to the opening statement provided, the €200 million was set aside in the contingency fund but it does not give any more detail, and that document is all we had to prepare for this session. However, it is actually more than that because the opening statement goes on to state there was "A further ask of €600 million for non-COVID-19 expenditure and €90 million for Capital" projects, which it states was offset by cash reserves of €409 million and an underspend in the Department of €70 million. When you do the sums and the maths on this, we have €1.392 billion which is being sought and is part of the Supplementary Estimates, there is €409 million in cash reserves that will be spent and there is €70 million from the Department. That actually brings the total overspend to €1.871 billion and not €1.39 billion for the year 2022, does it not? Perhaps the Minister's official could clarify if my reading of that is correct.
