I ask Mr. Watt to check that and come back to me.

I ask Mr. Gloster to talk us through the budgetary process. We know there will be a shortfall in funding this year, with underfunding of approximately €1.5 billion for 2023 if all the control measures are put in place. In the coming weeks, we will be dealing with the Supplementary Estimates. If there is a Supplementary Estimate of €1.5 billion, what will happen to that? I ask Mr. Gloster to talk us through the technicality of what happens in terms of that going into the base, or not going into it, for 2024.
