I think it is fair to say, and the officials may have a view in this regard as well, that the public record, and the documents Deputy Cullinane was referring to, show there was clearly a different view on ELS and on what is recurrent from this year, as well as, obviously, new development. Every Minister will always look for as much new development funding as he or she can get. The Deputy will have done it herself when she was a Minister of State, and the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, has done it too.
