Emer Higgins (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael)

I am delighted. It was really good and I want to pay tribute to all the fantastic work Variety is doing. Yes, some of the €618 million funding is to increase funding for services that exist. The Deputy will note we are here at the Estimates meeting because we have overruns on an annual basis so we want to go in with a better slate, as it were. On top of that, there is also a significant extra funding for new initiatives as well and the recruitment of up to 150 posts.
