Ms Josephine Feehily:

It was the other way around. We were looking for resources - as we always do - because that is our natural state. We would have engaged with our colleagues from the centre Departments. We would have warned them of the impact of cuts to our resources. That has been turned around at some point in the reporting. We always underline that the impact of a deep cut in Revenue resources will be felt on the other side.
