Mr. Derek Moran:

We ensure that we work very closely with Mr. Watt around those pressures. It is very important that there is consistency between the two Departments around the approach to it. We set the limits and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the Minister does the allocations within those limits, but we must have a unity. We ensure we work very closely, especially the central expenditure evaluation unit and the central budget unit within the two Departments. We have ensured this over the past number of years and it is a very strong relationship.
