If that information is available to the Department of housing, which I assume it is because it would have to lay out what it believes is the expenditure profile, I will share it with the committee.

I remember when he did that but I do believe it is accounted for in the NDP ceiling.

On the €4.5 billion, which is the non-core contingency reserve, out of that €4.5 billion we estimate that around €3.5 billion will be left aside to deal with the mix of Ukraine and international protection issues that we expect to still develop across next year. The majority of the further €1 billion is set aside for Covid measures we anticipate we will still have to fund in 2025. That is the best estimate we have in relation to it at the moment.
