I appreciate that but I want to take Mr. Kinnane to the health side because that is the one I really want to focus in on, if that is okay. €708 million is the allocation that the Minister determined was required for standstill in health. The Department of Health, the HSE, says that is not credible and that it is a work of fiction. It is arguing that it is approximately €2 billion. I want to Mr. Kinnane to explain to the committee how he arrived at this figure. Of the €708 million, how much of it is carryover of wages, for example?
