Mr. David Moloney:

The reason the Government has agreed €1 billion in non-core expenditure is to provide for the uncertainty, the data we need and the ability to respond to this post-pandemic issue. That will be the main means. There is no deficit. There is €1 billion in non-core expenditure and there is €806 million in core expenditure. That is the core figure for 2024 that has been decided and agreed by Government, as have the non-core provisions. These things have been agreed by Government and Government has also made it clear that we will contain it-----
