Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

In the context of monthly Exchequer returns of expenditure, we advise the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform of our anticipated net expenditure requirements each month. On that basis, the Departments of Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform arrange for the Exchequer supply account to have adequate funds to support us and all of our payments. We draw from that as we need to.
