My question, I suppose, is whether the Department of the Taoiseach, in conjunction with the Minister of State's Department, has thought out what will be done if a Department is proving to be consistently off target. We can see that in 2023 and 2024, the budgetary requirement will not be met. What then happens? Is it a financial penalty? Do we just call them in? We probably need to move towards some approach that offers a penalty.
