My question involves who made the original decision. Did the Department come to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and say it was going to do that?

There would have been ongoing conversations around the amount that would have been required. The Department would have been identifying savings. At that stage, it would have been approximately six weeks before the end of the year. The Department was doing a calculation to identify savings.
