I have to stop Mr. O'Grady there. This is just getting bizarre because the Minister says in his opening statement that the €1.39 billion is primarily made up of 85% or €1.181 billion for Covid-19 expenditure. It goes on to state, in the Minister's own words, there was "A further ask of €600 million for non-COVID-19 expenditure [in current] and €90 million for Capital" but now the Minister's official is saying that €600 million is part of the €1.39 billion. How can it be when we have just been told that 85% of this is part of the €1.181 billion?
