Dr. Colm O'Reardon:
That is not what it says in the note I received from the Department of Finance before I came here. To be clear, the use of the money in the fund is part of the general Government sector so if EU rules are in operation, they apply. If a domestic rule is in operation, as the Government's policy to limit expenditure is at the moment, this fund is counted under the expenditure rule.
