The net cost of the Votes we are discussing is €2,000. Deputy O'Callaghan is bringing into the discussion the overall overruns. Arising from my Department's responsibility regarding these Estimates, we are reapportioning funding that is under one head to another one. There have been savings achieved under certain headings and overruns recorded in others, and we have outlined where those have occurred. The Deputy's question would be better addressed to the Department of Health and some of the other Departments that had the overruns.

In this instance, these proposals and Supplementary Estimates are technical in nature, essentially.
