That is correct. From the point of view of taxpayers, these moneys primarily went through the Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government but also went through central funds that did not go through the Department's Vote. Thankfully, the Comptroller and Auditor General highlighted this issue separately in his remarks this morning. The transfer in respect of Irish Water in 2015, including the conservation grant, was €1.137 billion.
